New pre-print "The influence of earthquake gates on surface rupture length". We map and characterize EQ gates at 1:50k scale from 31 strike-slip surface ruptures, estimate passing probability as a function of geometry, and discuss influence on EQ scaling essopenarchive.org/users/700353/a…

Happy 2024! These days twitter and social media in general feel more like a distraction and less like a learning/constructive space for me so I am going to take a few weeks off (i.e. delete from phone + laptop). You can always reach me via email or thru my website 😊

@timblor @pm_figueiredo @celestelabedz @timblor @pm_figueiredo yes! 2019 agu flu was brutal. I was very sick at home for 2 weeks after the meeting

@HannaElston Congrats!!!

Big news: I passed the #PhD defense!! 🥳

forgot to add data and code are already available *** though still undergoing peer-review github.com/absrp/passing_…

Two recent papers on impermanent barriers to earthquake rupture propagation: an experimental study coming from my lab with @sblcebry here: doi.org/10.1029/2023JB… and a modelling study from @diego_mo_om and @DocTerremoto here: rdcu.be/dqHFP

New blog post highlighting a suite of Jupyter Notebooks to enable programmatic access to cloud-hosted USGS 3D Elevation Program (3DEP) #lidar data. Notebooks demonstrate how to use @pointcloudpipe to access & process data hosted by Amazon Open Data. opentopography.org/blog/new-colle… 1/2

Hace un año que ME suspendí el examen oral. La inseguridad, el no sentirse suficiente y el miedo al fracaso se dieron la mano ese día. Un año después, estoy esperando otra vez para hacerlo. Un año de esfuerzo, lleno de altibajos… y el constante ¿merecerá la pena algún día esto?

If you want to support deep public engagement by (earthquake) scientists, consider subscribing to our Earthquake Insights blog - link in my bio. (No, we are not paid by anyone else; we left our faculty positions. We write this blog because we think it is important.) 1/

@VictorVescu Fossil Falls?

Some camera roll highlights from last week's Ge136a: another excellent field course and my first solar eclipse-watching experience.

@alpeacegeo WOW

@DanielleVerdugo @mrbrianolson @MyShakeApp UTC vs pst error?

@mrbrianolson @_absrp @MyShakeApp Morning news hours?

What the heck, @MyShakeApp??? Did you really have notify me of your test today at 3:19am? That was a jolt of adrenaline I did NOT need at this hour!

@DavidFeldman thanks, Dave!

@_absrp Congrats!

Life update: I am now a postdoc fellow at Caltech. Hmu if you are in the area and want to talk/do science together

@tamarahking thanks, Tamarah! Hoping to run into you at some meeting soon :)

@_absrp congrats Alba!!! That's fantastic to hear :) all the best in the new role

@SeismoSue thanks, Sue!

@_absrp Oh, hey, welcome to the neighborhood!

@PlanetaryAnna I'm in North Mudd but expect to be around the seismolab a bunch :)

@_absrp Welcome! Are you at seismolab? ✨Happy to meet up!

UC Santa Cruz is very pleased to announce a search for two geophysics faculty positions this year. As highlighted in the job ad, we are particularly interested in expertise in seismology or geodesy and can entertain applicants at up to the Associate Professor level.
