Lidar Viewer (Cloud) Steps: 1. Bare-earth DEMs in GIS & Crusta 2. Full point cloud in Lidar Viewer 3. Compare full & classified clouds 4. Visualize the classification 5. Manual classification 6. Crusta: Map landform offsets. Our Approach 2010 El Mayor Crusta (DEM) Also see: Oskin et al. #7-3: Sun. 10/31 8:35 am Ballroom 4 Gold et al. #71-8: Sun 10/31 3:15 pm, 705/707 Bernardin et al. #172-7: Tue 11/2 9:30 am, 702 Forte et al. #172-10: Tue 11/2 10:15 am, 702
Model for future events: Large Lidar footprint (850 km2). Rapid collection, processing, and data release. Context ? Research Questions: Was there surface rupture? Relation to historical cluster? Oct. 18, 1751 Nov. 21, 1751 June 3, 1770
Crusta Video 1 Step 1: Bare-earth DEMS in GIS & Crusta Search for surface rupture (2010 & older) Map active fault trace Example from 2010 Sierra El Mayor
Observations: Fault stepover. Evidence of past surface rupture. Offset landforms. Step 1: Results
Lidar Viewer Movie 1 Step 2: Point Cloud in Lidar Viewer Double check for rupture & search for old offsets. Reveals topographic detail from bare-earth DEM. Example from 2010 Sierra El Mayor
Results from point set comparison tool: Step 3: Compare Full & Classified Clouds Removed Ground No data
Were ground returns misclassified? Lidar Viewer Movie 2 Step 4: Visualize the Classification
Lidar Viewer Movie 3 Step 5: Manual Classification in CAVE Automated: Removed Ground No data Several hours per site Sites were 16,000 to 120,000 m2 Manual:
Crusta Movie 2 Step 6: Map & Measure Offsets in Crusta Virtual field work enables remote analysis
Step 6: Results Independent field data = our remote measurements Dumay: 6.6 m vs. 6.3 +0.9/-1.3 m
1. Image before event. 2. Image immediately (days) after event. 3. Locate rupture using Lidar Viewer. 4. Rapid (days) automated classification & DEM. 5. Difference pre- and post-event data. 6. Crusta: draft rupture maps & slip functions. 7. Lidar Viewer: evaluate classification; measure offsets 8. Iterate steps 6 & 7. Our Vision: Lidar Viewer (Cloud) Crusta (DEM) Remote analysis during rapid scientific response:

Our Vision: Lidar Viewer (Cloud) Crusta (DEM) Remote analysis during rapid scientific response: Philosophy: rapidly release versions and then revise iteratively. Application of computational thinking: release early & release often.
Conclusion: New advanced methods of virtual-reality visualization transform rapid scientific response by enabling real-time interactive data analysis and virtual field work.
