Characterising Earthquakes in Oceanic Lithosphere: New Seismological Constraints on Plate Stresses and Deformation
University of Leeds
School of Earth & Environment
This project will characterise earthquakes occurring at shallow depths in oceanic lithosphere, determining their location, depth, source mechanism, and rupture characteristics, down to magnitudes not previously possible, and use the resulting dataset to explore the tectonic and geodynamic implications of the distribution of seismicity.
