NRESS PHD PROGRAM DISSERTATION DEFENSE
PRESENTER:
PAMELA MOYER
TITLE: UNDERSTANDING
EARTHQUAKE RUPTURE PROCESSES: INSIGHTS FROM MID-OCEAN RIDGE TRANSFORM FAULTS
AND SUBMARINE VOLCANOES
Join
colleagues and friends for NRESS PhD candidate Pamela Moyer’s dissertation presentation. Pamela is advised by Dr. Margaret Boettcher. All are welcome. No RSVP necessary.
More
about Pamela’s research:
A key issue in earthquake science is to understand
properties that control where earthquakes start, stop and spread, as well as
their ground shaking potential.
Earthquakes recorded by seismometers on the seafloor at an oceanic
transform fault and a submarine volcano serve as models to examine a variety of
seismic behavior. This dissertation
explores how variations in fault zone properties (such as damage and pore
fluids) affect earthquake rupture, and how this behavior reflects the evolution
of fault strength through seismic and volcanic cycles.
