Professor Emily Brodsky Presents "The Earthquake Problem"
Sullivant Hall Room 220
Abstract: Earthquake prediction has simultaneously remained both the central, unsolved problem of our field and the most pertinent issue in the public’s imagination. Here, we will discuss what we do and do not know about when earthquakes will happen. We will look at what we understand about the basic mechanics of faults and how drilling into faults has transformed our understanding of how earthquakes happen. We will also explore how the machine learning revolution is powering a transformation in forecasting aftershocks. Finally, we will look forward to the kind of instrumentation and approaches that are most promising for the next big advances.
