Landslides are a perennial threat in California, where the geology and steep topography mean the land is more prone to slipping than in other places. Now, researchers at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics and UC Santa Cruz studying two large Northern California landslides think they’ve found the key to predicting landslide motion hidden… Continue Reading ‘Giant Lab Experiment’ Leads to New Model for Predicting Landslides

Chao Song
Postdoctoral Fellow Chao Song is particularly interested in understanding the physical mechanisms that govern the generation of tremor and low-frequency earthquakes, and how they are distinct from those behind the regular earthquakes. Falling in the category of “slow earthquakes”, it is crucial to investigate how to reconcile the apparent differences between slow and fast (regular)… Continue Reading Chao Song
