Earthquake in Taiwan
I did an interview with CTV on the April 2 Mw 7.4 earthquake in Taiwan.

We had a lovely pre-holiday travel dinner with the group! Pretty tasty, and a lot of fun.
I was able to help out with a couple of stories on the Mw 7.8 earthquake along the East Anatolian fault zone on February 6.

Mitchell defended his thesis in April and is already off to a new Postdoc at Georgia Tech. You will be missed, but we’re excited to see what you do next!
Check out Erin’s final thesis chapter, a great paper from Alex Tye on foundering in the Puna, and a pedagogical paper that Mitchell and I put together.
I was invited to give a talk to the Canadian Tectonics Group recently. It was a fun opportunity for synthesis of our ongoing research on the Puna Plateau! Check out the link here:
Read a really lovely profile on Erin here!
The Schoenbohm Research Group (http://www.lindsay-schoenbohm.com/) in the Department of Chemical and Physical Sciences at the University of Toronto Mississauga invites applications for a Postdoctoral Fellowship beginning September 1, 2021, or shortly thereafter.

We also seek candidates with experience mentoring diverse students, particularly in field-research settings. The successful candidate may have the opportunity to teach at the undergraduate level.
The successful candidate will be expected to pursue innovative research at the highest international level. They must have an emerging record of scholarly accomplishments. Candidates must provide evidence of research excellence as demonstrated by publications in leading, discipline specific, academic journals, presentations at conferences, awards and accolades, and strong endorsements by referees. The successful candidate will also be expected to mentor graduate students and directly supervise undergraduate students. Excellence in student mentoring may be demonstrated by successfully supervised student theses, presentations, or publications, evidence of strong performance as a teaching assistant or course instructor, and strong referee endorsements on the subject of student mentoring.

Erin successfully defended her amazing thesis work… of her four research chapters, two are published and two are in revision. They’re all creative pieces that compliment each other beautifully and significantly advance our understanding of what controls erosion rates and how river reorganize themselves.
