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:
This post is slightly modified from an email that I wrote to some friends who were looking for tips on getting started with scientific computing with MATLAB. I'm not the world's expert on the subject, and I traded MATLAB for Python a couple years back, but the advice should be …
TL;DR: I made a GIS file (SHP, KML, GeoJSON) of potentially-active low-angle normal faults. You can get it at github here, and contribute if you'd like.
This post is a quick mathjax test.
That was easy.

A big part of my PhD was the exploration of a large, but essentially unknown, active rift in southwest Tibet, the South Lunggar rift. We mapped the rift, and did a solid amount of zircon (U-Th)/He thermochronology, combined …

edit 9 June 2013: HimaTibetMap repo on GitHub updated to new address
I maintain HimaTibetMap, an open-source database of active faults in the Indo-Asian collision zone. While I was in phd school, we hosted the data on KU’s proprietary …

I was sent a great BBC video entitled ‘Roof of the World’ that does a nice job of outlining many of the modern concepts of mountain building (orogeny) and related collapse (taphrogeny), with emphasis on the Tibetan/Himalayan system …
