🚨 WE HAVE TOUCHDOWN!!! 🏁
40 days, 3 hrs & 29 mins after launch, CHANDRAYAAN-3 has successfully touched down on the Lunar surface!! 🌖
MASSIVE congrats to @isro & the global spaceflight community!
The south polar region of the Moon is no longer empty! 🛰️

Excited to announce our #SIGGRAPH2023 paper
"Winding Numbers on Discrete Surfaces,"
with @nicolefeng_ and @MarkGillespie64.
In essence, we address the question: given a jumble of curves on a surface (possibly noisy & broken), which points are "inside" vs. "outside"? [1/n]

We stacked all the GPS time series ever recorded before large earthquakes. The result is pretty interesting: science.org/doi/10.1126/sc…

In our new EPSL paper, using trenching, coring, and CPT data we explore how changes in the Salton sea level impact seismicity along the Imperial Fault, South California.

Job advert now live! We're looking for a new postdoc to join the @MAST_ERC team. @UoBEarthScience @NERC_COMET @UoBGeophysics @UoBristolVolc . Advert here: bit.ly/3NqySYQ. Flexible start date. Contact me if interested.
@MAST_ERC@mast_erc
🚨 Opportunity for a new postdoc to join the @MAST_ERC team at @UoBEarthScience: bit.ly/3NqySYQ. Developing new models of strain in magmatic systems based on InSAR data, working with me & @SylvainBarbot. Would suit someone with experience of geophysical inverse models.

The talk from Paul Selvadurai is available online. youtube.com/watch?v=nZBT7C… A main takeaway from the presentation is the use of Distributed Fiber-Optic Strain Sensing (DSS) in laboratory experiments to study confined ruptures. Very informative session.

Recent work from Paul includes studying precursory phenomena in the laboratory and modeling seismic cycles using a modified rate- and state-dependent friction law. doi.org/10.1016/j.tect…

Dr. Paul Sevaldurai, ETH will discuss complex deformation and localization of brittle failure in triaxial tests on crystalline rocks. Join us this Friday, May 12, at 1 pm PST. @UCDgeodynamics

.@c____sy is interested in the field, microstructural, and experimental studies of rocks, spanning the brittle and ductile fields. See a recent publication on the fracture energy of incoming sediments at the Cascadia subduction zone doi.org/10.1016/j.epsl…

On Friday, May 19, 1-2 pm PST, Dr. Caroline Seyler @c____sy will discuss healing and failure in clay-bearing fault gouges. Dr. Seyler is an NSF postdoctoral fellow at Univ. Minnesota and will be joining the faculty
@USC_earth next year. Registration at geodynamics.org/events/details…

A personal favorite is the study of the brittle-ductile transition on granitoid rocks showing a change of stress power exponent from 140 to 10 accompanying changes in activation energies from 80 to 180 kJ/mol.

This Friday May 26 at 1-2 pm PST, @UCDgeodynamics will host a webinar by Matej Pec, MIT "What does a Brittle-to-Ductile Transition Sound Like?" Registration at geodynamics.org/events/details…

Another important analysis is the activation of creep on pseudotachylites, which is formed by rapid quenching of bulk melting in the fault zones. agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/full/10.10… Don't miss this occasion to hear from Dr. Violay.
English
Another work of great relevance to earthquake cycles is the determination of physical parameters for dynamic weakening during earthquakes. This is key to representing all phases of earthquake dynamics, including propagation at high slip speed. doi.org/10.1029/2022JB…
English
Dr. Marie Violay will finally give her talk: "Mechanical behavior of lubricated faults during earthquake nucleation and propagation" on Friday, June 9 at 1-2 pm PST. Registration at geodynamics.org/events/details… Join us for the talk and Q&A. This is the last seminar in the series.
