News and updates
October 2023 - Alexis was named a Kavli Fellow by the National Academy of Sciences and Kavli Foundation, and attended and presented research her group at the Japanese-American-German Frontiers of Science Symposium in Dresden, Germany.
September 2023 - PhD student Alex DiMonte, Postdoctoral fellow (Harvard) Lydia Bailey, and Alexis presented their latest work along the southern San Andreas fault and the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, earthquake sequence ruptures at the SCEC Annual Meeting in Palm Springs, CA.
September 2023 - Postdoctoral fellow Jenna Kaempfer and PhD student and NSF GRF Ema Armstrong presented their latest research at Thermo2023 in Riva del Garda, Italy.
September 2023 - PhD student and USU Presidential Doctoral Research Fellow Jordan Jensen led a new paper out in G-cubed with Alexis and colleague John Geissman (UT Dallas, UNM) that evaluates the compatibility between pmag and hematite (U-Th)/He thermochronometry. Congratulations Jordan!
August 2023 - Alexis, Dennis Newell (USU), and Sinan Akçiz (CSUF) conducted field work along the 2023 Kahramanmaraş, Turkey, earthquake sequence surface ruptures as part of their recently funded NSF RAPID.
May 2023 - Alexis and Greg Hirth at Brown University are continuing their work along the southern San Andreas fault (SSAF) and were awarded a new SCEC grant to investigate the evolution of shallow on-fault deformation along the Coachella Valley segment of the SSAF
March 2023 - Alexis and Brady Cox in Civil and Environmental Engineering were awarded a USU SPARC grant to integrate geologic and geophysical data to evaluate how materials in the shallow south San Andreas fault zone transmit or dampen earthquake energy. Stay tuned for new science!
March 2023 - Check out our new paper in JGR Solid Earth led by former PhD student and now USGS Mendenhall postdoc, Dr. Rob McDermott, "Microscale spatial variations in coseismic temperature rise on hematite fault mirrors in the Wasatch fault damage zone"
October 2022 - We have a new paper out in Geology led by graduate student Alex DiMonte with collaborators Greg Hirth and Kelly Bradbury! "Hematite accommodated shallow, transient Pleistocene slow slip in the exhumed southern San Andreas fault system, California, USA". You can read it here! Congratulations Alex!
