Structure and mechanics of the subducted Gorda Plate : constrained by afterslip simulations and scattered seismic waves
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Subduction zones host the greatest earthquakes on earth and pose great threat to human society. The largest slip in megathrust earthquakes often occurs in the 10-50 km depth range, yet seismic imaging of the material ... -
Distribution, growth, and transport of larval fishes and implications for population dynamics
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)The early life stages of marine fishes play a critical role in population dynamics, largely due to their high abundance, high mortality, and ease of transport in ocean currents. This dissertation demonstrates the value of ... -
Expanding plausible biosignature gas candidates for detection in habitable exoplanet atmospheres
(Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 2021)Exoplanet science has become a central spotlight of astrophysics in the last decade, due in part to the discovery of more than 4400 exoplanets, of which 60 are potentially habitable. One rapidly growing branch of exoplanet ...
