25 July-15 August. Laura Parisi and Martin Mai join the CDI team of Sigurjon Jonsson in the GPS campaign in North Iceland to re-measure the markers existing near the Húsavík-Flatey Fault ​​

Paper “Geostatistical Modeling to Capture Seismic‐Shaking Patterns From Earthquake‐Induced Landslides” by Luigi Lombardo, Haakon Bakka, Hakan Tanyas, Cees van Western, Paul Martin Mai and Raphael Huser published in the Journal Geophisical Research-Earth Surface

30 June -July 4. The workshop is to share recent advances in the numerical modeling and understanding of earthquake rupture, earthquake ground motion, and ambient seismic noise. Better understanding of physics of these phenomena based on available seismic data and efficient numerical modeling should eventually help to progress in predicting earthquake ground motion.

​23 June- 23 July. The research visit is part of the CRG-funded project FRAGEN (FRacture Activation in Georeservoir physics of Earthquakes in complex fault Network) in which KAUST and LMU are partners. I met and discussed with the main developers consist of Dr. Alice Gabriel (PI), Dr. Duo Li, Thomas Ulrich, Sebastian Anger, Taufiqurrahman, and Carsten Uphoff about the advances of using the software. I learned about the basic concepts and the governing equations of dynamic rupture modeling, friction laws and fracture mechanics implemented in the software started from literature reviews as well as hands-on practices using meshing software (GOCAD, Simmodeler, PUMGen) and SeisSol. Familiarizing the software during the visit and making collaboration works with the FRAGEN team (Dr. Alice Gabriel and Sebastian Anger) on in-situ mesh tagging is useful for the next step of my Ph.D. work together with the FRAGEN project.

​​We would like to warmly welcome Bora in our group!​​

12-26 June. Laura Parisi visits Andrea Berbellini at INGV Bologna for a project aiming at obtaining a first-order velocity model of the crust in the Ngorongoro Conservation Area using Rayleigh waves ellipticity.

11-14 June. The summer school was focused on how to numerical model both kind of physical processes which involves fracture mechanics, complex friction laws and thermo-hydro-mechanical deformation. Learn more about the following link: Click here

June 3-5. The workshop brings together people from earthquake geology, earthquake physics, and the seismic hazard assessment (SHA) community to incorporate the prior two more efficiently into the latter. The overall goal is improved SHA, focusing on applications in southern Europe.

14-16 May. Prof. Mai serves on the Scientific Advisory Board (SAB) of the Consortium
