On February 6th, 2023, the devastating Mw 7.8 Kahramanmaraş earthquake in South East Türkiye ruptured multiple fault segments of the East Anatolian Fault Zone. This earthquake and its aftershock sequence was followed by a second large earthquake with MW 7.6…
Did you hear that we can predict earthquake occurrence in the laboratory using Machine Learning? You might have already seen some great and interesting papers related to this topic. However, nearly all studies focused so far on the smooth faults,…
Using Acoustic Emission data from triaxial fracture experiments performed in our laboratory on Westerly Granite samples, Andrew Patton published a paper in Physical Rewiew E entitled “Large-scale heterogeneities can alter the characteristics of compressive failure and accelerated seismic release”. The…
Simon published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research, Solid Earth entitled “Preparatory Slip in Laboratory Faults: Effects of Roughness and Load Point Velocity”. Simon’s paper presents outcomes of displacement-rate controlled friction experiments on roughened sawcut granite samples with different…
