Geophysics At UCR

In the IGPP we are building a Center for Earthquake Physics, in which we focus on the underlying physics of earthquake initiation and slip propagation. Current activities are three-fold:

experiments on faulting triggered by mineral reactions in which a low-viscosity fluid is produced
measurement of current flow within the crust and mantle, with particular interest in phenomena associated with earthquakes and partial melting
dynamic modeling of earthquake rupture
