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!!) sciencedirect.com/science/ar…

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 👇👇👇 sciencedirect.com/science/ar… @LukeWedmore @JulietBiggs @akefagereng

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

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

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

Abstract. Active fault data are commonly used in seismic hazard assessments, but there are challenges in deriving the slip rate, geometry, and frequency of earthquakes along active faults. Herein, we...

In BMJ this week is the obituary of my uncle Bill. He was a lovely guy and amazing GP. During the pandemic he became suddenly & severely depressed and took his own life. He is greatly missed.

🚨New paper alert🚨 In our new paper in GRL, we use field and microstructural observation to document an anomalously narrow footwall damage zone (5-20 m) along the 110 km long Bilila-Mtakataka Fault (BMF) in southern Malawi: agupubs.onlinelibrary.wiley.… 🧵 1/7

📢📢Preprint Alert📢📢 Check out our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi with @PREPARE_Africa. We show how PSHA can be very sensitive to on-fault magnitude-frequency distributions and highlight the need for more fault-based PSHA in the East African Rift
