New pre-print "The influence of earthquake gates on surface rupture length". We map and characterize EQ gates at 1:50k scale from 31 strike-slip surface ruptures, estimate passing probability as a function of geometry, and discuss influence on EQ scaling

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 😊
forgot to add data and code are already available *** though still undergoing peer-review

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 @pointcloudpipe to access & process data hosted by Amazon Open Data. opentopography.org/blog/new-… 1/2

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.)

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

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.

@ucdavis 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.
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.
Stepped out of my comfort zone this weekend and went on a field trip to look at big trees instead of rocks for once
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? (@seismogenic ?). (Will credit and thank you forever)

Why was the earthquake so large? In our recent paper in @ScienceMagazine, 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/science.adi0…

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?!

🚨🚨 Mendenhall Opportunities listed 🚨🚨
usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-…
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

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.
In a new #SRL paper, scientists led by @madeleine_earth estimate magnitude from shaking intensity for earthquakes with known magnitudes. In this way, the team can assess the uncertainty of intensity-based magnitude.

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
#AGU23 attendees! As you submit your abstracts, remember: Results offer valuable lessons, even if they are not what you were hoping to get.
Embrace your null-results too! Check out our null-results reports in our type of publications for more information:
