Faculty J.R. Patton, S.W. Smith, A. Lomax, M. Hellweg, L. Dengler, D.S. Dreger, Geology

I have been invited by the United States Geological Survey to speak at their annual Northern California Earthquake Hazards Workshop (February, 2026) to discuss a recent paper of which I was lead author. The paper is entitled "Large Repeating Gorda Intraplate Earthquakes Occurring Along an Inherited Weak Zone near the Mendocino Triple Junction" and summarizes a new way to look at offshore earthquake hazards.  It was published in the Seismological Research Letters journal (DOI: 10.1785/0220250005).
