Could the San Juan Fault pose an earthquake risk to Vancouver Island? Salomon et al. find evidence for recent fault motion and call for further investigation of this potentially active fault. 🔗 Read now: seismica.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

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.

Life update: got my PhD! What a journey. I'm especially grateful to my supervisors @faultydata.bsky.social and @earthquakeguy.bsky.social for their support and mentorship along the way. Also huge congrats to @thatfaultguy.bsky.social for graduating as well!
holy SHIT you need to watch this video notice what happens about 14 seconds in (trust me, you'll see it) www.youtube.com/watch?v=77ub...

Another PhD chapter published! We investigate the Jan 2020 M 6.4 earthquake in the Koryak Highlands, Siberia. We find that the earthquake ruptured an immature fault, orthogonal to regionally mapped structures. doi.org/10.1093/gji/...
