Reviewers are selected for their valuable expertise and dedication to high-quality science. In June, UTIG’s Yuko Okumura, Rob Porritt, and Laura Wallace each received AGU’s 2019 Editor’s Citation for Excellence in Refereeing. Yuko and Rob were selected […]
The UTIG Seminar Series Archive is Now Online!
A new online archive dating back to Spring 2010, contains over 250 recorded science talks and is available now on the UTIG website. The UTIG Seminar Series Archive is the first step in a project to collect science talks held at UTIG and make them freely available online. Over the coming months, the recorded talks […]
Frictional Properties of Natural Fault Rocks Explain Slip
In a new Nature Geosciences paper, Im, Saffer, Marone, and Avouac report on computer models that incorporate laboratory measurements from natural fault rocks to study fault slip and rupture behavior. They show that the frictional properties of these natural fault rocks can explain the spectrum of slip behavior observed on tectonic faults that spans from […]
Arizona Rock Core Sheds Light on Triassic Dark Ages
A rock core from Petrified Forest National Park, Arizona, has given scientists a powerful new tool to understand how catastrophic events shaped Earth’s ecosystems before the rise of the dinosaurs. The quarter-mile-long core is from an important part of the Triassic Period when life on Earth endured a series of cataclysmic events: Our planet was […]
Climate scientist moves research online, while learning to homeschool
On March 13, 2020, like most labs at The University of Texas at Austin, the Jackson School’s Analytical Laboratory for Paleoclimate Studies powered down instruments, stored samples and suspended operations. The lab’s research team gathered what data they could and took their work online. For Jud Partin, a UTIG research associate who leads the research […]
