Active Tectonics, Quantitative Structural Geology, and Geomorphology

SESE Logo

Welcome to the SESE Active Faulting seminar! This web page lists the schedule, updates, and information about our reading group.
Themes to be covered this semester include the latest thinking in the earthquake cycle, fundamental concepts of faulting, and linking actual rocks to the mechanics of faulting and earthquakes.

When: Thursdays, 2:00pm - 3:30pm (see schedule below).
Where: ISTB4 596 (see schedule below).
