Come and join our research group! We're looking for a postdoc interested in Volcano InSAR UK COMET Bristol Volcanology Group University of Bristol Earth Sciences Bristol Geophysics. bit.ly/3oFNYOm

📢📢Preprint Alert📢📢 Check out our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi with PREPARE. 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

We have developed and broadened cross-disciplinary research partnerships with the Disaster Risk Reduction community in East Africa on managing seismic risks and other natural hazards. @bristoluni BristolUni International Research Development University of BristolEng University of Bristol Earth Sciences

🚨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.com/doi/10.1029/20… 🧵 1/7

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.

Discussion open for comments on EGUsphere: The Luangwa Rift Active Fault Database and fault reactivation along the southwestern branch of the East African Rift doi.org/10.5194/egusph…

Interested in active faulting and seismic hazard in the enigmatic southwestern branch of the East African Rift? Check out this awesome preprint on Solid Earth led by Luke Wedmore and MSci student Tess Turner 👇👇👇

Registration and abstract submission for #TSG2023 in LEEDS are now open!! Check out our conference website conferences.leeds.ac.uk/tsg2023/ for details and get in touch if you have any questions. We can't wait to see you in PERSON back in Yorkshire! TectonicStudiesGroup

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

The Malawi Seismogenic Source Model has been developed through a great team featuring Luke Wedmore @fracturedfola Donna Shillington Patrick R.N. Chindandali @hassan_mdala Juliet Biggs Ake Fagereng Max Werner (and many others not on Twitter!) and supported by the PREPARE project 2/4

The database itself can be accessed here: doi.org/10.5281/zenodo… with new updates available via GitHub github.com/LukeWedmore/ma… 3/4

And stay tuned for how we use this model in a new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis for Malawi! 4/4

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

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

Very honoured and happy to have won the William Smith Fund. Many thanks to all the advisors, collaborators, colleagues and co-workers who have contributed enourmously to this.

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/articl…

The 2024 William Smith Fund is awarded to Dr Luke Wedmore. A risk analyst at Verisk, @lukewedmore has received the William Smith Fund for his excellence in contributions to applied and economic aspects of geoscience. Our warmest congratulations Luke!
