In a new #SRL paper, scientists use a 3D model to explore how fault dip and sediment strength influence along-strike variability of surface deformation for thrust and reverse faults. ⚒️ pubs.geoscienceworld.org/ssa/srl/arti...

This article is excellent -- check it out, if you're curious about #earthquakes in eastern #Tennessee.

⚒️ 🧪 More than 40,000 people reported feeling shaking when a M4.1 earthquake struck eastern Tennessee this morning. Unusual? Maybe not: this is part of the Eastern Tennessee Seismic Zone. But the jury is still out on exactly why those earthquakes are occurring…

If you missed the amazing talks at the workshop Lithodef25 last February in IPGP, you can now screen most of them on IPGP YouTube channel. Enjoy!

Today's #earthquake near Mandalay, Myanmar, had magnitude Mw 7.7 to 7.9. Prelim. source models point to rupture duration & length of ~120s and at least 200km. It likely filled large part of seismic gap S of Sagaing (previous rupture in 1839) ⚒️ 🧪 Map from doi.org/10.1002/2013... (Wang et al.) 1/n

I posted earlier that the M7.7 earthquake in Myanmar hits hard personally. I have a professional interest & also have family connections there. For now, I’d like to think about good things, such as the 2018 trip where I was an instructor in a “Paleoseismology field camp” we ran near Mandalay. 1/4

Interesting paper by Fukushima et al. on the effects of the 2024 Noto Peninsula Earthquake www.science.org/doi/10.1126/...

Landscape changes caused by the 2024 Noto Peninsula earthquake in Japan

Deformation due to the Noto Peninsula earthquake showed that its repetition shaped the Peninsula’s modern landscapes.

Enjoyed a lovely evening city walk in Changsha, central China, before heading to a meeting.
