Dynamic Rupture Models, Fault Interaction and Ground Motion Simulations for the Segmented Husavik-Flatey Fault Zone, Northern Iceland [PDF]
, 2023 The Husavik-Flatey Fault Zone (HFFZ) is the largest strike-slip fault in Iceland and poses a high seismic risk to coastal communities. To investigate physics-based constraints on earthquake hazards, we construct three fault system models of varying ...

Rapid Healing of Thermal Cracks in Ice
, 2022 The structural integrity of the arctic sea ice cover is under threat owing largely to the combination of thinning and larger waves. Another contributor may be thermal cracking. In concentrating stress, thermal cracks may weaken the cover.
