Spatial and temporal evolution of a long term slow slip event: the 2006 Guerrero Slow Slip Event

, 2011
The Guerrero 2006 Slow Slip Event (SSE), Mexico, one of the world's largest observed SSEs, was recorded at 15 continuous GPS stations. This event provides the opportunity to analyse in detail the spatial and temporal evolution of slip at depth, and to constrain the characteristics of a large SSE. We perform an inversion in two steps.

Rheological Controls on Creeping Landslides Within the Franciscan Mélange: Insights From Laboratory Experiments

Geophysical Research Letters
Landslides and tectonic faults exhibit a spectrum of slip behavior, from steady frictional creep to catastrophic failure. However, the mechanisms controlling slow slip, and slip speed more generally, remains unresolved.

Surprising Water Slipping Performance on Highly Hydrophilic PEG‐Derived Monolayer‐Covered Surfaces: Preparation, Mechanism, and Application

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Highly hydrophilic surfaces (water contact angle, ≈17.7°) exhibiting surprising water slipping performance (sliding angle, ≈7.3°) are successfully prepared via simple chemisorption of polyethylene glycol (PEG) organosilane and subsequent alkali‐treatment.

Low‐Fraction Irregular Inclusions Trigger Large Compression Stiffening in Biopolymer Hydrogels

Advanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Irregular inclusions at low filler fractions trigger large compression stiffening in biopolymer hydrogels. By promoting contact‐network formation under compression, these inclusions induce non‐affine rearrangements, stretch surrounding fibers, and provide parallel load‐bearing pathways.

Observations and modeling of temporal variability in slow slip events

, 2012
In this thesis, I investigate short-timescale variations in slow slip events in Cascadia. I use these and other observations to assess whether one of the friction laws proposed to govern the slow slip region can adequately reproduce the observed events.
