ESS Colloquium: Carolina Lithgow-Bertelloni (UCLA) "Unraveling the connection between mantle flow, lithospheric stress, faults, and rivers"

Keywords: geodynamics, faulting, lithospheric strength Abstract: The state of stress of the lithosphere affects, perhaps even controls, surface deformation. However, how much of the deformation reflects differences in the thickness and density of the crust and lithospheric mantle versus the forces exerted at the base of the lithosphere by the convecting mantle remains a topic of debate and controversy. In this study, we compare the directions of horizontal tectonic stresses, fault lines, and river flow patterns on a global scale to test whether and how deep stresses shape geomorphic features. We found that these three features generally show spatial correspondence. However, the degree of correspondence varies based on fault regime, the sources of stress, and the size of rivers. Extensional faults are primarily influenced by changes in lithospheric structure, whereas compressional faults require the additional stresses provided by mantle flow. We propose a metric on mantle influence based on our results,… Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Johnson Hall (JHN). Campus room: JHN 075.

FREE Public Lecture: Storm Chasing from the Ground to Space

Join the UW Atmospheric & Climate Science Department for the 2026 Graduate Students' Distinguished Visiting Lecture!  About the Speaker: Susan van den Heever is a prominent researcher in cloud physics, convective dynamics, and aerosol–cloud interactions, widely recognized for her contributions to understanding how microphysical processes influence storm organization and climate. Her work focuses on uncovering how aerosols modify convective intensity, precipitation efficiency, and mesoscale circulations. Susan has led or contributed to several major field campaigns, including being the current Principal Investigator of NASA’s INCUS (INvestigation of Convective Updrafts) Mission. Her group has also advanced the representation of clouds and convection in numerical models ranging from storm-scale to global climate simulations. Susan’s leadership and scientific impact have been recognized through numerous honors, including and AMS Fellowship and AGU ASCENT Award.   Abstract: Thunderstorms shape life on Earth in… Thursday, April 30, 2026, 4:00 PM – 5:20 PM.

ESS Colloquium: Alison Duvall (UW ESS) "Deep-seated Landslides and their Legacy in the Pacific Northwest"

Keywords: geomorphology hillslope landslide hazards Abstract: Landslides saturate the landscape of the Pacific Northwest (PNW), USA due to steep topography, a wet climate, proximity to earthquake faults, and weak geologic units. Despite their ubiquity, deciphering cause, frequency, and the geomorphic legacy of PNW landslides remains a long-standing problem in need of new approaches. Several issues have historically limited our progress. First, although we know of numerous potential earthquake source faults, long recurrence intervals mean that no large magnitude events (7 Mw) have been recorded in modern times. Moreover, precipitation-driven landslides happen with each storm and wet season, outpacing and obscuring coseismic slides. Finally, landslide mapping and dating, two fundamental means to probe the landscape record, presents a formidable challenge across Cascadia. In this presentation, I will highlight how novel advancements enable progress for several case studies in Oregon and Washington, where we… Event interval: Single day event.

ESS Colloquium: Nick Zentner (Central Washington University) "Westward Subduction and Alaska's Brooks Range"

Keywords: subduction, Brooks Range, Alaska Tectonics. Abstract: Field mapping of Alaska's Brooks Range clearly demonstrates a collision of North America with an oceanic island arc that once dominated the northern Pacific Ocean. The geometry of the collisional suite in the Brooks Range strongly indicates westward subduction of an oceanic plate beneath the Koyukuk Arc. Why is westward subduction so difficult to imagine for younger collisions in Washington's tectonic history? Event interval: Single day event. Campus location: Johnson Hall (JHN).

ESS Colloquium: Philipp Ruprecht (University of Nevada, Reno) "A unique magmatic system and its evolving landscape during volcanic unrest – Cordon Caulle, Chile"

Keywords:  Volcanic and surface hazards, multi-disciplinary data integration, rhyolitic eruptions Abstract: Few volcanic centers are affected by linked hazards and are as volcanically active as the Puyehue-Cordón Caulle volcanic complex: Three large rhyolitic eruptions in the last 100 years, past volcanic activity that was trigger by a megathrust earthquake, an active magmatic system that extends over more than 100 km2 with inflation rates on the order of centimeter to decimeter year, and an over-steepened and out of equilibrium landscape because of a recent shallow magma intrusion and voluminous tephra deposition are goalposts of this volcanic system. In this seminar, I will focus primarily on 2011-12 rhyolitic explosive and effusive eruption that was recorded in unprecedented detail. During the transition from explosive to effusive volcanism a shallow intrusion formed. It displaced the thick pumice fall deposits that are now faulted and folded and that provide numerous pathways for meteoric water to… Event interval: Single day event.
