EAPS Geophysics Seminar: Matt Wei: Overcoming the challenge of detecting slow slip events offshore
Matt Wei, Professor at the University of Rhode Island, presents “Overcoming the challenge of detecting slow slip events offshore” as part of the MIT EAPS Geophysics Seminar. “Detecting slow slip events offshore, especially in subduction zones, is important for both science (fault mechanics) and society (natural hazard). For the last decade, our ability to do…
