Next week at the #GSA2025, I'll be presenting my newly developed Python tool, 𝒑𝒚𝑪𝒐𝒓𝒆𝑹𝒆𝒍𝒂𝒕𝒐𝒓. We apply it to quantitatively re-examine the correlatability of Cascadia deep-water turbidites, previously interpreted as synchronous deposits of paleo-earthquakes.

It was really fun to present in the SoftRock seminar at the @txgeosciences.bsky.social today, talking about early outcomes of this collaborative project with Prof. @xding.bsky.social. We are looking forward to sharing more in the GSA meeting in San Antonio, TX!

🧪⚒️Just released Mike Hudec on salt tectonics. Amazingly, salt structures can be many tens of kilometers across. And because salt is extremely weak compared to other rocks and minerals, it is the first to deform in the presence of stresses. It's often involved in forming hydrocarbon reserves.
