Earthquake physics, friction, and
geomechanics. Recent themes have
included: 1) slow earthquakes and the spectrum of tectonic fault slip behaviors, 2) application of machine learning to predict
labquakes and improve understanding of earthquake physics, 3) rate-state
friction mechanics, fault healing and the application of laboratory derived
friction constitutive laws to faulting, 4) rock-fluid interaction, reservoir
properties, and poromechanics of rock deformation, 5)
granular mechanics, 6) the role of shear fabric and clay mineralogy on the frictional strength and
constitutive properties of fault rocks, 7) the strength and rheology of fault
rocks in nature.
