Earth’s small-scale structure – Massive datasets and machine learning

University of Leeds Faculty of Environment

The interior of the Earth holds the record of the evolution of the planet and the imprint of ongoing processes. Lithospheric material is transported into the deep interior through subduction and then distributed throughout the mantle by convection. Read more

Earthquake and tsunami hazard from outer rise faults

University of Leeds Faculty of Environment

As oceanic plates enter a subduction zone and begin their descent into Earths’ interior, they bend. This bending creates fractures and faults in the down-going plate, producing earthquakes. Read more

Supervisor: Dr T Craig

How do complex fault geometries influence earthquake cycle deformation?

University of Leeds Faculty of Environment

This exciting project aims to understand how complicated fault geometries influence earthquake nucleation and recurrence. You will combine field work, lab analyses, and seismology to investigate fault slip patterns on multiple scales in time and space. Read more

Supervisor: Dr L Gregory
