@lucadalzilio @Nature @EOS_SG @ntu_ase @NTUsg @ScienceNTU In any case, the geochemistry is indeed cool, and I hope we get more tests/discussions of the sediment lubrication concept like this!

@lucadalzilio @Nature @EOS_SG @ntu_ase @NTUsg @ScienceNTU I did see the citation, but found it odd that it was only in the general context of sediment lubrication, whereas BB18 was then later ignored in the discussion of hypotheses for India acceleration... e.g. the sentence below:

📣New paper out!🔔

We quantify deep/viscous subduction interface rheology by integrating field observations, numerical models, and experimental flow laws. This provides us new insights into viscosity and strength variations along subduction zones.

I will also miss hearing from and learning from Tom Hanks. In addition to his seismology roots he was also fascinated by landscape dynamics, earthquake geology and crustal rheology. I used to get emails from him checking in around THanksgiving and will miss those too.

New paper out! Want to learn more about the use of #Synchrotron XFM to unravel trace element compositions in #calcite veins? They record episodic and multi-scale fluid transport within accretionary wedges https://t.co/kPoWu9SIz0
Many thanks to @HerweghMarco and the🇨🇭-🇦🇺 team!

NEW PAPER with @WhitneyBehr and @JesusMunozMont. We present a novel approach to estimate permeability related to fluid flow at the depths of slow slip and tremor using rocks from Syros, Greece

New work from rocks from on Syros! We hope our measurements will prove useful for understanding permeability in deep #subduction shear zones. Also hoping people will collect similar measurements from other areas so we can understand global variability.

[Leif Tokle @LTokle]

New paper out on blueschist deformation experiments!!! 🚨🚨🚨 From the exps we developed a flow law and some of the first rheological constraints on diffusional properties in amphibole. @sgt_ethz . Check it out #OpenAccess #microboudinage

[David Fdez-Blanco @_GeoDa_]

Tektonika's 1st volume is out!!

Authors published their research at no cost. Readers get the peer-reviewed papers for free too. It'll be so forever!

No company exploit the system, so total costs are <1k/yr. The rest is not magic but community effort. Thanks thanks thanks!

“When you’re accustomed to privilege, equality seems like oppression.”. I don’t know who first said this, but it couldn’t be more appropriate.

Hurray! to another great semester for the @sgt_ethz group- here’s our end semester BBQ on the lake (missing some people but we do our best)!
