Abstract

The Seismological Society of America (SSA) topical conference, Future Directions for Physics‐Based Ground Motion Modeling, was held in Vancouver, Canada, on 10–13 October 2023, co‐sponsored by the Seismological Society of Japan and co‐chaired by Annemarie Baltay of the U.S. Geological Survey and Hiroshi Kawase of Kyoto University. This meeting brought together many researchers and practitioners interested in modeling, observing, and utilizing ground‐motion models (GMMs). Scientists gathered to discuss complex kinematic and dynamic rupture simulation approaches, empirical representations of the earthquake source, site and path effects, physical modeling of the recording site, challenges for model extrapolation, and overall prediction accuracy and simulation validation. The four‐day meeting included many posters as well as oral presentations, with each session followed by lively discussion sections, upon which we report here.
