Delighted to see this published. Was a true team effort including a great masters student. And possibly my favourite ever figure/piece of analysis (check out figure 9!!)

5 years later, but we finally have a paper to show for our Uganda fieldwork 😅 Lots of cool stuff about how magmatism can rapidly change fault networks in continental rifts 👇👇👇

Fantastic day 1 of the Southern East Africa Rift workshop in Blantyre, Malawi. 56 earth scientists from 14 countries and 4 continents (plus New Zealand!), discussing and debating mechanisms of continental breakup in east Africa. #sEARSworkshop2023 #nsffunded @nau_ses

Our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi has just been published #OpenAccess in @RAS_Journals #GJI Our results imply significant changes to previous seismic hazard maps in Malawi, and underly the importance of using geologic and geodetic data in PSHA🧵1/6

Published in #GJI Geophysical Journal International: "Fault-based probabilistic seismic hazard analysis in regions with low strain rates and a thick seismogenic layer: a case study from Malawi", Williams et al. This is Fig. 1: to read the paper visit academic.oup.com/gji/article…

The Malawi Seismogenic Source Model has been developed through a great team featuring
@LukeWedmore @fracturedfola @djshillington @Rafiki_PN @hassan_mdala @JulietBiggs @akefagereng @maxjwerner (and many others not on Twitter!) and supported by the @PREPARE_Africa project 2/4

Before everyone leaves Twitter, check out our new model for estimating the magnitude and frequency of #earthquakes along Malawi's active faults👇. Includes some neat comparisons between fault slip rates measured over 75 ka and when inferred from geodesy🧐 1/4

🚨New paper alert🚨
In our new paper in GRL, we use field and microstructural observation to document an anomalously narrow footwall damage zone (5-20 m) along the 110 km long Bilila-Mtakataka Fault (BMF) in southern Malawi:

📢📢Preprint Alert📢📢
Check out our new probabilistic seismic hazard analysis (PSHA) for Malawi with @PREPARE_Africa. We show how PSHA can be very sensitive to on-fault magnitude-frequency distributions and highlight the need for more fault-based PSHA in the East African Rift
