The weight of mountains (or other high topography) induces stresses in the earth below the topography. Unlike many other types of stress in the crust, topographic stresses are expected to …

I've been working the past year and a half on calculating topographic and tectonic stresses. This work has relied heavily on using elastic halfspace approximations, which are quite commonly used in the crustal deformation communities, particularly by geodesists. To this end, I have …
Open access to scientific publications and datasets is very important for both scientific progress and for the incorporation of scientific knowledge into the public sphere. The reasons for this are manifold, and have been enumerated so vociferously on various blogs, email lists, and internet fora that one fears the spittle …
This is an IPython Notebook version of a paper I have just submitted to Geophysical Research Letters. This is the complete paper, but with all the code embedded, and is executable. However, it does need a Python module called eq_stats.py as well as some of the typical Python scientific …
For the AGU Fall Meeting 2013, we (myself, Eric Hetland, Guohong Zhang) presented a talk on stresses resulting from high topography and how those stresses can influence faulting. The presentation focused on the 2008 Wenchuan, China earthquake. Here is the slideshow:
