Emily Brodsky of the University of California, Santa Cruz, delivered the third of the DTM Brinson Lectures on 2 December. Her talk, entitled “Triggering Earthquakes by Seismic Waves,” focused on her attempts to unravel why earthquakes happen when and where they do by examining long-range triggered seismicity—one of the few natural situations where the immediate cause of an earthquake is easily isolated.

The Brinson Lecture Series is sponsored by the Brinson Foundation and is intended to highlight innovative work in the field of earthquake seismology, with a special focus on new methods for observing temporal changes in the nature of fault zones and for characterizing conditions that lead to earthquakes. The program provides an opportunity to foster innovative collaborations between the speakers and DTM researchers.
