A thread on this paper! 🧪⚒️
The Tintina fault is a major right-lateral fault, stretching ~1000 km across the Yukon, and having slipped a total of ~430 km in its lifetime. It's generally thought to have been inactive since the Eocene.

Really pleased to share our new paper in GRL, documenting evidence of multiple Quaternary surface-rupturing earthquakes on the Tintina fault in the Yukon.

Life update: got my PhD! What a journey. I'm especially grateful to my supervisors @faultydata.bsky.social and @earthquakeguy.bsky.social for their support and mentorship along the way. Also huge congrats to @thatfaultguy.bsky.social for graduating as well!

Another PhD chapter published! We investigate the Jan 2020 M 6.4 earthquake in the Koryak Highlands, Siberia. We find that the earthquake ruptured an immature fault, orthogonal to regionally mapped structures. doi.org/10.1093/gji/...
