A workshop on inverse problems and geomechanics is being held on at the at the bucolic Fontainebleau campus of Mines Paris, France, 30 Sept.–3 Oct., 2025. The submission deadline has been extended to 10 July. Follow the link for details on how to submit! geosciences.minesparis.psl.eu/workshop-detai…

A mysterious, unidentifiable seismic signal, a first-of-a-kind giant Greenland landslide, a 200m high tsunami, and a 9-day-long seiche explained by #HPC models. It has been a tremendous honor (and - lots of fun) to be a tiny part of this collaboration published in Science today.

This work follows up on leading-order solutions, featured in a series of recent works, and first included as part of this one: x.com/ViescaRobert/s…

as well as optimal truncation

I just submitted a new preprint, and this one is fascinating! We're zooming in on what is probably the biggest obstacle to DAS-based Earthquake Early Warning. Preprint link: doi.org/10.31223/X5KH5R Keep reading for a summary 👇 [1/N]

Soft Matter by @WimvanSaarloos, Vincenzo Vitelli, & Zorana Zeravcic introduces key phenomena and concepts in soft matter from a modern perspective, marrying established knowledge with the latest developments and applications. Out March 26, learn more: hubs.ly/Q02n2RhK0

@MCSlab_uiuc Thanks, Ahmed! And thanks again to John Kolinski and Mokhtar Adda-Bedia for organizing that workshop @cecamEvents

Our recent paper “cracks” the reason why fractures form in certain ways. Read more about the research from Harvard scientists in collaboration with Engineering researchers at @UniofNottingham in @physorg_com: phys.org/news/2024-01-e…

Heading to AGU and wondering what more insight can we gain into models of the seismic cycle using rate- and state-dependent friction? Check out Federico Ciardo’s presentation Tuesday, TA22-02, and be surprised. agu.confex.com/agu/fm23/meeti…

Does aseismic slip before an impending earthquake necessarily correspond to the nucleation phase of a mainshock?🤔 In a recent article, PhD student Luc Moutote unveils a slow-slip event driving the 2017 Valparaiso sequence, from foreshocks to aftershocks: doi.org/10.1029/2023JB…
