PhD candidate, experimentally studying earthquake dynamics. Wishful deadhead.
pinned post!
Published!!!! The first article of my PhD and the first from the lab that I set up!! 🤩🤩 We study the dynamic effects of fault bends on earthquake ruptures by imaging shear ruptures in PMMA plates propagating through bends (double bends to be exact).

Grateful to spend two days on the Klamath watching chinook, liberated by dam removal, return to streams from which they’d been precluded since the Titanic sank. Fish are everywhere, in numbers that stagger the mind & locations that biologists figured would take years to repopulate. Too beautiful.

Pure Americana, and the perfect song for putting babies asleep (specifically the 72' Olympia theatre, Paris version, which I played more than a thousand times according to Spotify, and a few dozens more on vinyl)

A thread on this paper! 🧪⚒️ The Tintina fault is a major right-lateral fault, stretching ~1000 km across the Yukon, and having slipped a total of ~430 km in its lifetime. It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene.

The tragic landslide in Blatten gives me the excuse to tell you the story of how we found out Ice Ages existed. It's a cool story and the most important bit is rather similar to what's happening now.

| The Blast Let's back up for a moment. 3.3 billion cubic yards of rock and ice crashing downslope, the landslide buries the North Fork Toutle Valley in debris up to 600 feet deep. Behind it, A turbulent cloud of ash, pumice, superheated gas, and pulverized rock.

Two features that clearly demonstrate the on-fault displacement field surrounding rupture propagation are the plant next to the wall on the left and the gate itself. Since rarely do seismic stations located so close to the fault (meters away!), these features offer unprecedented observations: 🧵⚒️🧪

Notice anything? 🧐 One tree-ring stands out here, with very pale latewood! 🤍 It's the famous year 536 CE, one of the coldest of the Common Era! 🥶 Early that year, a volcanic eruption caused a veil of aerosols that reduced solar radiation and cooled temperature 🌋 Subfossil larch, Aletsch Gl., CH

#FridayFold
(Probably) Cretaceous carbonates tightly folded to a recumbent fold. Honestly I have no idea of what created this fold, aside from that being is an area of left-right extension and normal faulting. Really puzzling. On the Nuweiba-Taba road, Sinai peninsula

Wow!!!!!! Looks like it's the longest recorded surface rupture, surpassing the Mw 7.8 2001 Kunlun earthquake

The middle building is moving a lot more than the shorter & taller ones either side. It’s a real world example of the BOSS model simulation - how an earthquake can resonate with buildings that have matching natural frequencies, and seemingly leave others unaffected.
