Could the San Juan Fault pose an earthquake risk to Vancouver Island? Salomon et al. find evidence for recent fault motion and call for further investigation of this potentially active fault. 🔗 Read now: seismica.library.mcgill.ca/article/view...

A thread on this paper! 🧪⚒️ The Tintina fault is a major right-lateral fault, stretching ~1000 km across the Yukon, and having slipped a total of ~430 km in its lifetime. It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene.
Regional topographic map showing the location of the Tintina fault in the Yukon. Black dots show earthquake epicentres and blue arrows show GPS velocities recording crustal deformation. Blue, yellow and pink polygons show the extent of ice in three past glaciations. White box encompasses the study area in northern Yukon near Dawson City

Another PhD chapter published! We investigate the Jan 2020 M 6.4 earthquake in the Koryak Highlands, Siberia. We find that the earthquake ruptured an immature fault, orthogonal to regionally mapped structures. doi.org/10.1093/gji/...
