Can't wait to sit down after my thesis is submitted and defended and put together a little piece about some (I think important) null results that came out of my thesis work

Go read our new paper in #SRL! We anticipate the uncertainty analysis used in this study (focused on California) will be widely applicable to other regions with a record of historical earthquake intensities such as Japan, Italy, etc.

🚨🚨 Mendenhall Opportunities listed 🚨🚨 usgs.gov/centers/menden… Applications will be on USAJobs.com and due Nov. 1st Especially cool postdocs (with me!): 22-14: PacNW high-res geophysics and geology 22-31 & 22-32: Cascadia earthquake cycle and paleoseismology

Our latest nature paper shows the power of DAS. Using a 100km cable, we imaged four asperities breaking during a M6 event, whose image would otherwise be a blur. It is like having a new telescope, but for earthquakes! What if we have all the cables?! rdcu.be/dioaw

Why was the earthquake so large? In our recent paper in Science Magazine, we revealed how the destructive Turkey earthquakes this year gradually ruptured and evolved in a multi-fault web, forming a domino-like cascading effect! Link: doi.org/10.1126/scienc…

Does anyone have a cool simulation of dynamic rupture propagation across a step-over that I can show in my PhD exit talk for illustration purposes? (Dr. Julian Lozos ?). (Will credit and thank you forever)

The Hayward fault

Stepped out of my comfort zone this weekend and went on a field trip to look at big trees instead of rocks for once

Is anyone aware of a compilation of triggering stress/strain values in dynamic and static aftershock triggering studies? *** not in a figure but in a downloadable, workable format. This field seems to have peaked in popularity before data was shared in supplements.

PhD opportunity at GFZ to study why and how marine terraces are created and preserved in tectonically active coastal landscapes, with a focus on Japan. Field/num.mod./GIS. Project is co-led with Sumiko Tsukamoto . Contact me if you are interested!

UC Davis Earth and Planetary Sciences is hiring for the Louise H. Kellogg Endowed Chair in Geophysics (associate and full level). Area of geophysics is very much open - outstanding scholar, excellent mentor, innovative teacher, leadership. See recruit.ucdavis.edu/JPF05891.

UC Santa Cruz is very pleased to announce a search for two geophysics faculty positions this year. As highlighted in the job ad, we are particularly interested in expertise in seismology or geodesy and can entertain applicants at up to the Associate Professor level.

Life update: I am now a postdoc fellow at Caltech. Hmu if you are in the area and want to talk/do science together

While reviewing the #drone photos from last weeks trip to #PEC I couldn't resist sharing these photos of the impressive fractures just off the coast.

If you want to support deep public engagement by (earthquake) scientists, consider subscribing to our Earthquake Insights blog - link in my bio. (No, we are not paid by anyone else; we left our faculty positions. We write this blog because we think it is important.) 1/

New blog post highlighting a suite of Jupyter Notebooks to enable programmatic access to cloud-hosted USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) #lidar data. Notebooks demonstrate how to use PDAL to access & process data hosted by Amazon Open Data. opentopography.org/blog/new-colle… 1/2

Two recent papers on impermanent barriers to earthquake rupture propagation: an experimental study coming from my lab with Sara Beth Cebry here: doi.org/10.1029/2023JB… and a modelling study from diego molina o and Pablo Ampuero here: rdcu.be/dqHFP

Happy 2024! These days twitter and social media in general feel more like a distraction and less like a learning/constructive space for me so I am going to take a few weeks off (i.e. delete from phone + laptop). You can always reach me via email or thru my website 😊
