Deep Dive takes a deep look at the latest research from scientists at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at UC San Diego. In this episode, Scripps Director Margaret Leinen speaks with Assistant Professor Wenyuan Fan.
Dr. Fan is an assistant professor of geophysics within the Institute for Geophysics and Planetary Physics at Scripps. He is an observational seismologist who uses seismic records collected both onshore and offshore to study the Earth and seismic sources. He is interested in earthquake rupture propagation, earthquake interaction and triggering processes, and the mechanisms of environmental seismic sources such as landslides and glacial quakes. This interview also covers the science of submarine landslides, stormquakes, and experiments underway that aim to improve earthquake prediction.
1:26 What is an observational seismologist?
3:10 What are submarine landslides?
