An everyday quirk of physics could be an important missing piece in scientists’ efforts to predict the world’s most powerful earthquakes. In a study published in the journal Science, researchers at The University of Texas at Austin discovered that a frictional phenomenon could be key to understanding when and how violently faults move. That’s because… Continue Reading Earthquake Scientists Have a New Tool in the Race to Find the Next Big One – Banner

Alice Turner
DISTINGUISHED POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW Alice Turner is an earthquake seismologist. Her research focuses on using seismic observations to understand the mechanics of earthquakes, both on the Earth and on other planets. During her PhD at the University of Oxford, Alice studied the mechanics of repeating earthquakes (earthquakes that happen repeatedly in the same location) on the Earth and… Continue Reading Alice Turner
Gail Christeson: Former UTIG Associate Director
By Constantino Panagopulos Like many scientists, Gail Christeson often turned to the National Science Foundation for research funding. It’s how she ended up leading one of the longest continuous seismic imaging profiles of the Earth’s oceanic crust, and it’s what took her to the southern Gulf of Mexico to drill an underwater crater that marked… Continue Reading Gail Christeson: Former UTIG Associate Director
