His talk, entitled "The Characteristics, Scaling, and Interpretation of Slow Earthquakes," discussed his research on models that can explain a wide variety of observed features in slow earthquake events, including their locations relative to those of normal earthquakes and to three-dimensional seismic structure, their source mechanisms, and scaling relations among moment, energy, and duration.

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.
