Did you hear that we can predict earthquake occurrence in the laboratory using Machine Learning? You might have already seen some great and interesting papers related to this topic. However, nearly all studies focused so far on the smooth faults,…
Simon published a paper in Journal of Geophysical Research, Solid Earth entitled “Preparatory Slip in Laboratory Faults: Effects of Roughness and Load Point Velocity”. Simon’s paper presents outcomes of displacement-rate controlled friction experiments on roughened sawcut granite samples with different…
Together with colleagues from Canada, Spain and Russia we finally published a manuscript entitled “What Controls the Presence and Characteristics of Aftershocks in Rock Fracture in the Lab?” in Journal of Geophysical Research: Solid Earth. The key points of the…
Aglaja Blanke from our section published paper in Gephysical Journal International entitled “Stress drop–magnitude dependence of acoustic emissions during laboratory stick-slip”. In this study she used spectral ratio technique to derive static stress drops of very small earthquakes of sub-milimited…
