New Zealand’s largest fault is a jumble of mixed-up rocks of all shapes, sizes, compositions and origins. According to research from a global team of scientists, this motley mixture could help explain why the fault generates slow-motion earthquakes known as “slow slip events” as well as destructive, tsunami-generating tremors. “One thing that really surprised… Continue Reading Eclectic Rocks Influence Earthquake Types

Silvia Brizzi
POSTDOCTORAL FELLOW Silvia Brizzi is interested in understanding the influence of long-term subduction dynamics on the seismic cycle of megathrust faults and the occurrence of giant earthquakes. She is also interested in the interaction between tectonics, surface processes and mantle dynamics in orogenic systems, which are the subject of her current research. At UTIG, Silvia… Continue Reading Silvia Brizzi
