Newly Constructed Earthquake Machine Makes Earthquake on First Test By Kristin Phillips After months spent carefully combining black steel plates, delicate sensors, and five hydraulic jacks into a device that mimics the sliding of tectonic plates past each other, a team of researchers and graduate students successfully made an earthquake in the lab on November… Continue Reading Making Quakes in Austin, Texas
2022 in Review
2022 was another great year for research at the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics. Take a look at the research, pursuits and achievements you may have missed.
Scientists Plan Major Research Program to Understand Earth’s Most Dangerous Hazards
The University of Texas at Austin has joined leading scientists on a bold new effort to understand Earth’s largest earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. The plans were detailed in a new report published Nov. 7 with the backing of 55 universities. Demian Saffer, the director of the University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) and one… Continue Reading Scientists Plan Major Research Program to Understand Earth’s Most Dangerous Hazards
Study Explores How Tectonic Forces Shape The Andes
Based on their shared geologic history, one would expect the topography of the Andes mountains to be relatively consistent from one end to the other. But reality defies expectation: the 8,000-kilometer long mountain belt spectacularly widens and narrows (varying from 300 to 900 km in width) as it winds from north to south along the… Continue Reading Study Explores How Tectonic Forces Shape The Andes

Meet the Mars Student Researcher Who Wants to Rewrite Fluid Dynamics
Mars was once a wet world, like Earth, but did water hang around long enough on its surface to sustain life? That’s the question on the mind of Eric Hiatt, a graduate student at UT Austin’s Jackson School of Geosciences, who’s supported by UT’s Center for Planetary Systems Habitability to study the history of water… Continue Reading Meet the Mars Student Researcher Who Wants to Rewrite Fluid Dynamics
