Landon Lockhart is a graduate research assistant at UTIG and a PhD student at the Jackson School of Geosciences. His research uses data gathered at the Mad Dog Field in the Gulf of Mexico to refine a new technique which predicts pressure at deep water drilling sites. The technique known as full stress tensor (FES) was… Continue Reading Meet the Student: Landon Lockhart

New Computer Modeling Approach Could Improve Understanding of Megathrust Earthquakes
Years before the devastating Tohoku earthquake struck the coast of Japan in 2011, the Earth’s crust near the site of the quake was starting to stir. Researchers at The University of Texas at Austin are using computer models to investigate if tiny tremors detected near the site of the quake could be connected to the… Continue Reading New Computer Modeling Approach Could Improve Understanding of Megathrust Earthquakes
