Michele gave 4 media interviews today about the earthquake in coastal New Hampshire.
The talk was recorded and you can watch on YouTube.
The National Academies of Science, Engineering and Medicine are hosting a 5 part workshop series on Disrupting Ableism and Advancing STEM. Michele is on the workshop planning committee, who have been working on this for the past 5 months. All sessions are recorded.
The first day was hybrid leadership summit with participants from all across the STEM ecosystem. On that day Michele moderated a panel on the”Describing Disability: Language and Models”
The following four workshops were entirely on-line and cover:
Wednesday March 1, Michele gave a talk to the Marine Geology and Geophysics (MGG) / Seismology, Geology and Tectonophysics (SGT) divisional seminar series.
What can tiny faults tell us about evolving seismic hazard of crustal strike-slip faults?
Evidence suggests that strike-slip fault systems become less complex as they mature and this evolving maturity can impact the occurrence of damaging earthquakes on the fault system. Inferring the past and future seismic potential of evolving faults depends on interpreting fault system evolution from present-day observations and conditions. How much could future slip rates differ from those of the recent past? How does off-fault deformation evolve with fault maturity? How does seismic potential change during fault system reorganization? Using scaled physical experiments we can directly measure variations in fault slip rate, off-fault deformation and seismic moment release rate associated with strike-slip fault evolution. We also use machine learning to train convolutional neural networks to predict off-fault deformation from active strike-slip fault maps. These findings can guide our interpretations of past and future seismic hazards from present-day crustal conditions.
What Can Tiny Faults in the Lab tell us about Evolving Seismic Hazards in the Crust?
Friday September 3rd, Earth and Environmental Sciences Department, Temple University
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.
Michele Cooke provided a keynote lecture and was a panelist for the third conversation for Leading Practices for Improving Accessibility and Inclusion in Field and Laboratory Science: A Conversation Series.
description: “The third conversation in the series will focus on specific aspects of access and inclusion for field-based research and education in STEMM, including best practices, misconceptions, and barriers for establishing accessible and inclusive fieldwork. The event will bring together a group of scholars and leaders in the disability community in a live webcast conversation about these topics. Our speakers will discuss key questions, including: What can we do to make it safer for folks to disclose disability or to request field trip accommodations? What myths about how we conduct fieldwork need to be debunked to shift the culture of field-based education and research to be more inclusive? What are the some new tools, technologies, and creative approaches to implement accessible and inclusive fieldwork?“
Geomechanics PhD candidate Laura Fattaruso presented her research Simulating crack growth and microcrack coalescence using work optimization at the Geosciences department brown bag on April 6th
Michele co-leads the National Association of Geosciences Teachers webinar on Graduate student onboarding courses: Exposing the hidden curriculum to help your students succeed March 30th 2021. The recording of the webinar and its materials are available at the NAGT website.
You can join the Geosciences Graduate Curriculum listserve and our conversation on our Slack channel. Information on this and other resources are available on the NAGT Graduate Curriculum set site.
