Dr. Tom Birren successfully defended his PhD thesis, “Experimental analysis of semi-brittle deformation: Implications for deformation dynamics.” Tom has been at Iowa State since 2016, and it is hard to imagine the lab without him! We wish him the best of luck on his next adventure.
The structure lab at ISU is looking for a graduate student at the MS level to join the team in 2022. If you are interested in working on an experimental approach to tackle problems related to friction and motion of faults, contact Jacqueline Reber via email (jreber@iastate.edu). We are a welcoming and dynamic group that … Continue reading Seeking applicants for 2022!
Lab member Emily Ross was awarded a 2020 AGU Outstanding Student Presentation Award for her talk titled “Off-Fault Deformation Due to Changes in Slip Dynamics on the San Andreas Fault: An Experimental Approach.” You can watch her talk here:
