UMass geomechanics presentations at the European Geophysical Union

Talk at ETH Zürich

Had a great visit with Whitney Behr’s Structure and Tectonics research group on May 6, 2022. The title of my talk was Where is the missing slip? Off-fault deformation within strike-slip systems.
Zürich was also very charming. I highly recommend visiting if you get the chance.

Hanna runs experiments at GFZ Potsdam

With help from Matias Rosenau and Ehsan Kosari, Hanna and Michele ran a suite of restraining bend experiments within sand. It was a privilege to have the opportunity to run experiments in the famed GFZ Potsdam analog experiment facility.
