• February

  • Friday 26 - Invited talk at the Berkeley Seismology Lab.

  • Congratulations to PhD student Simone Mancini, whose AGU talk on Coulomb stress models of the 2016-2017 Central Italy sequence won him an Oustanding Student Paper Award!

• December
  • I’ll be at the AGU meeting in Washington, where I’ll give a talk on my recent paper about crack models of small repeating earthquakes. And don’t miss other presentations by my coauthors: Simone Mancini will give a talk on Coulomb stress models of the 2016-2017 Central Italy sequence; Eric Burton will present a poster on time dependent fault locking in Japan; Brittany Erickson and colleagues from the Community Code Verification Exercise for Simulating Sequences of Earthquakes and Aseismic Slip will present a poster with the results of the first benchmarks.

• November
  • Our article on modeling of small repeating earthquakes has been accepted in JGR. Check it out here!

• August
  • I will attend the SCEC meeting (September 9-12, Palm Springs), the Workshop on Modeling Earthquake Source Processes (October 8-10, Pasadena), and AGU. My coauthors and I will present work on modeling of small repeating earthquakes, time dependent fault locking prior to the Tohoku earthquke, Coulomb stress models of the 2016-2017 Central Italy sequence, and a comparison of numerical codes simulating earthquake sequences. Stay tuned for details!
