Earthquakes are a dramatic result of our dynamic planet. They pose a huge issue to the world’s population in terms of loss of life and damage to critical infrastructure. Recent research tells us that tectonic faults can creep slowly, produce ‘slow’ earthquakes over days, or fast earthquakes that travel at supersonic speeds. What have we learnt about earthquakes over the past few years that helps us to understand these different types of faulting movements? This presentation will outline different types of tectonic fault slip and explore the methods we are currently using to enhance our understanding of earthquakes.
