I'm recruiting a new PhD student to work on landscape evolution following volcanic eruptions and the evolution of ridgelines. Please help spread the word. More info at: joelscheingross.com/opportunities/
Despite its importance, earthquake magnitude is a surprisingly ambiguous concept. Here we combine analysis of a large dataset of earthquakes in the western US with synthetic experiments to understand the relation between different magnitude scales. pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/tsr/arti...
The catalog itself is here, and I can DM you the .pdf. zenodo.org/records/1116...
Locating earthquakes is a fundamental task in seismology with many important applications, but is not always as easy as it looks. Here we @nvseismolab.bsky.socialdoi.org/10.1785/0220...
Very proud of my PhD student Avigyan Chatterjee's work characterizing spatial variations in earthquake ground motion in California. Someone hire this man! agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1029/...
<em>Geophysical Research Letters</em> is an AGU journal publishing high-impact, innovative articles on major advances spanning all of the major geoscience disciplines.
Nice writeup by UNR College of Science reporter Michelle Werdann on the relation between fault complexity and slip behavior in California www.unr.edu/nevada-today...
The researchers found geometric complexity of nearby faults could play a role in the risk of earthquakes
Neat work led by Brown Univ. PhD student Jaeseok Lee looking at the relation between fault creep and the geometric complexity of fault networks. This collaborative work with @nvseismolab.bsky.socialwww.nature.com/articles/s41...
Analysis of some of the main fault zones in California shows that the presence of complex earthquake fault-network geometries results in geometric locking that promotes stick-slip behaviour, whereas s...
We are so proud of our NSL graduate students for all they've accomplished this year. One masters defense, three major grad schools exams passed, several conference presentations, and an upcoming paper in the journal Nature!
