The 2024 William Smith Fund is awarded to Dr Luke Wedmore.

A risk analyst at @Verisk, @lukewedmore has received the William Smith Fund for his excellence in contributions to applied and economic aspects of geoscience.

Our warmest congratulations Luke!

[Luke Wedmore @LukeWedmore]

Delighted to see this published. Was a true team effort including a great masters student. And possibly my favourite ever figure/piece of analysis (check out figure 9!!)

5 years later, but we finally have a paper to show for our Uganda fieldwork 😅 Lots of cool stuff about how magmatism can rapidly change fault networks in continental rifts 👇👇👇

@harrih__ Hi harri, sure. I'll send you my email address in a DM.

[Luke Wedmore @LukeWedmore]

Very honoured and happy to have won the William Smith Fund. Many thanks to all the advisors, collaborators, colleagues and co-workers who have contributed enourmously to this.

Fantastic day 1 of the Southern East Africa Rift workshop in Blantyre, Malawi. 56 earth scientists from 14 countries and 4 continents (plus New Zealand!), discussing and debating mechanisms of continental breakup in east Africa. #sEARSworkshop2023 #nsffunded @nau_ses

Our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi has just been published #OpenAccess in @RAS_Journals #GJI Our results imply significant changes to previous seismic hazard maps in Malawi, and underly the importance of using geologic and geodetic data in PSHA🧵1/6

@JudithGeology Put the rails on rails? Like they had with the pipeline across the Danali Fault.

[Jack Williams @faulty-jack.bsky.social @faulty_Jack]

And stay tuned for how we use this model in a new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for Malawi! 4/4

The Malawi Seismogenic Source Model has been developed through a great team featuring
@LukeWedmore @fracturedfola @djshillington @Rafiki_PN @hassan_mdala @JulietBiggs @akefagereng @maxjwerner (and many others not on Twitter!) and supported by the @PREPARE_Africa project 2/4

[Jack Williams @faulty-jack.bsky.social @faulty_Jack]

Before everyone leaves Twitter, check out our new model for estimating the magnitude and frequency of #earthquakes along Malawi's active faults👇. Includes some neat comparisons between fault slip rates measured over 75 ka and when inferred from geodesy🧐 1/4

Registration and abstract submission for #TSG2023 in LEEDS are now open!! Check out our conference website https://t.co/aF8REELQRB for details and get in touch if you have any questions. We can't wait to see you in PERSON back in Yorkshire! @TSG_since1970

@HannahSus I would highly recommend crown prince squashes - easily the tastiest and most delicious (and v easy to grow!)

@faulty_Jack @OtagoGeology @AllBlacks I presume you spent the whole time persuading them to join @BristolBears

Discussion open for comments on @EgUsphere: The Luangwa Rift Active Fault Database and fault reactivation along the southwestern branch of the East African Rift https://t.co/QQb9nAEN6H

[Jack Williams @faulty-jack.bsky.social @faulty_Jack]

Interested in active faulting and seismic hazard in the enigmatic southwestern branch of the East African Rift? Check out this awesome preprint on @EGU_SEarth led by @LukeWedmore and MSci student Tess Turner 👇👇👇
