Research Professor Nathan works on subduction zone structure and tectonics to understand subduction zone development and fault behavior. Subduction zones host the world’s largest and most destructive earthquakes and tsunamis. Understanding the structure and tectonics is critical for understanding the fault zone conditions within the subduction thrust that controls its mechanical behavior. Nathan uses 2D… Continue Reading Nathan Bangs
The UTIG Seminar Series is a forum for cutting-edge earth and planetary sciences attended by scientists, postdoctoral researchers, and graduate students at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics and the wider UT Jackson School of Geosciences. See our Events Calendar for upcoming talks. Past talks are posted below and on our YouTube playlist. Back… Continue Reading UTIG Seminar Series: Fall 2022
The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics conducts 2D and 3D kinematic modeling of complex geologic systems using leading industry software. Subduction zones are settings where two plates converge, causing one to subduct beneath the other as it passes into the mantle. The collision process generates the world’s largest and most destructive earthquakes and tsunamis… Continue Reading Kinematic Modeling of Subduction Zones
In August, 2023, scientists from the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics and partner universities led a research cruise off the coast of Florida on a mission to survey tectonics in Earth’s crust, deep beneath the ocean floor. Their target was a large, submerged plain known as the Blake Plateau where the researchers hope to… Continue Reading Studying the Blake Plateau
