The Rupture Process of Subduction Zone Earthquakes part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2024 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
Academic abstract page from a 2024 structural geology and tectonics forum presenting Gene Humphreys' research on subduction zone earthquake rupture mechanics, focusing on megathrust stress accumulation, transient fault weakening, and low-stress sliding inferred from seismic and geological observations.
Reconciling Baja-BC and Flat Shatsky Conjugate Subduction beneath Western U.S. part of Cutting Edge:Courses:Structural Geology and Tectonics:2024 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This abstract page presents a geological study reconciling Baja-BC and Flat Shatsky conjugate subduction beneath the western U.S., detailing tectonic processes, mantle lithosphere replacement, and structural evidence from southern California to Wyoming at 90–70 Ma, as part of the 2024 Structure and Tectonics Forum.
