Ian G Main. Time-dependent brittle deformation is a fundamental and pervasive process operating in the Earth's upper crust. Its characterization is a pre-requisite to understanding and...
Biography. Qualifications. Ian has a BSc in Physics (University of St Andrews) an MSc (advanced course) in Geophysics (University of Durham) and a PhD in Seismology (University of Edinburgh) for a thesis entitled ‘Seismotectonics and seismic hazard’, supervised by Paul Burton of the BGS and Kenneth Creer at the University of Edinburgh. Career.
Ian G Main In order to elucidate different properties of zones of deformation bands, we develop a numerical model of rupture using a multiscale cellular automaton that captures key ingredients...
