Congratulations to Dr Moses Angombe, who successfully defended his PhD thesis titled, "Exploring Transient Coseismic Deformation in Fault Systems: Insights from Paleo-seismic Thrusts and Active Faults." Moses mapped transient high-fluid pressure on the sliding surface of a thrust fault, experimentally fractured rock samples to support his observations, and is characterizing anomalous seismicity in northern Namibia.
