UTIG’s postdoc on discovering a new kind of tectonic behavior. GEOPHYSICS Q&A Before joining the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics, Antoniette Greta Grima discovered a previously unknown tectonic plate behavior that she called ‘slab orphaning.’ The process, which occurs 660 kilometers (410 miles) under the Earth’s surface, describes the way tectonic plates — or… Continue Reading Antoniette Greta Grima: ‘Bam! It broke in two and went on its own sweet way as if nothing had happened’

UT Professor Publishes Milestone Book on Geopressure
A new book about geopressure, the study of fluid pressure in geologic systems, marks a significant step in the science of subsurface geology. Written by Peter Flemings, a professor at The University of Texas at Austin Jackson School of Geosciences, A Concise Guide to Geopressure: Origins, Predictions and Applications is both a guide for drilling into the… Continue Reading UT Professor Publishes Milestone Book on Geopressure
Dunyu Liu: Computational Geoscientist
MEET THE SCIENTIST Dunyu Liu is a computational geoscientist at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG), and the first official hire to support computational science activities across UTIG. A seismologist by training, Liu is helping build bridges between geophysical research and high performance computing. In 2008, when Dunyu Liu was an undergraduate, a… Continue Reading Dunyu Liu: Computational Geoscientist

Dunyu Liu
COMPUTATIONAL GEOSCIENTIST Dunyu’s research focuses on understanding the effect of earthquake fault geometry and dynamic rupture on complex earthquake phenomena with the aid of finite-element method and parallel computing. He is interested in applying multicycle dynamic models to geometrically realistic fault systems to understand mechanics behind rupture segmentation and complex recurrence intervals from paleo seismological… Continue Reading Dunyu Liu
