The best thing I heard this week is that we should share our great work more and show why science matters for us as humans. So here it is. Please check our new paper that shows earthquakes tend to occur in regions with peculiar rock properties science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…!

Our new paper is published! Our systematic comparison of large and small earthquakes in Northern California over the past 24 years shows that simple (mature) faults are more likely to experience cascading rupture than complex (immature) faults. nature.com/articles/s4324…

Our new paper is published! We identified numerous anti-repeating earthquakes in Sierra Valley and provide a detailed characterization of them, suggesting that small-scale stress heterogeneity is a likely cause. earth-planets-space.springeropen.com/articles/10.11…

Wonderful visit at GNS Science! Big thanks to my host Dr. Duo Li for the kind hospitality and stimulating discussions!
