Types for Rupture Models of Large Earthquakes

*Summary*
The candidate will develop techniques for the inversion of multi sensor
data for earthquake fault rupture. The different types of data will
include near-field and far-field seismic waveforms and continuous GPS
measurements, as well as aftershock and sea level data. The methodology
developed should account for non-linearity in the dependence of data on
fault geometry, as well as determining the level of ambiguity resolution
in the two candidate fault planes.
*Research Project*
The dynamics of fault rupture during large earthquake is still poorly
understood, and many fundamental questions remain unanswered; Why does
rupture initiate in one part of a fault rather than another, why does
rupture sometimes stop after generation of a small earthquake, and why
does it sometimes grow to the size of a mega-earthquake? Kinematic
rupture models, which describe how fault rupture evolves in space and
time, are the fundamental data used to answer questions such as these.
Such models are typically obtained through inversion of seismic,
geodetic or tsunami data. Each type of data has its strengths and
weaknesses. Ideally, we would perform joint inversions of multiple data
types in a way that would maximize their strengths, thereby obtaining
models with the optimal spatial and temporal resolution.
Furthermore, kinematic rupture inversion methods generally assume
knowledge of the geometry of the rupture surface, but point-source
estimates of fault mechanism cannot distinguish between the actual
rupture plane and its conjugate, auxiliary plane, nor can they provide
information on extent of the rupture area. This problem is particularly
acute when rapid estimates of rupture are required, as is the case when
a tsunami warning or rapid impact estimate is required. Information on
fault plane geometry and rupture extent generally requires near-field
and/or aftershock data system, but even when theese are availbale some
level of ambiguity often remains.
This project seeks overcome some of these challenges by developing
robust inversion methods that can be applied to multiple data types, and
account for variable spatial and temporal resolution as well as
ambiguity in fault geometry. We propose to investigate these questions
using a trans-dimensional Bayesian approach, recently developed within
our group, which allows the model parametrisation to adapt to the data
as part of the inversion process.
This position is supported by an Australian Research Council Discovery
Project to undertake research in new methods for studying fault rupture
using multi-sensor data. It is open to all candidates with a strong
background in physics, geophysics, or applied mathematics. Of particular
interest are candidates with expertise in earthquake source
characterization.

Postdoctoral Research Scientist
Columbia Water Center at Columbia University
We seek two Postdoctoral Research Scientists to start in September 2013
to work on programs conducted by the Columbia Water Center at Columbia
University in close collaboration with the Department of Earth and
Environmental Engineering and The Earth Institute at Columbia University.
The Columbia Water Center addresses global water scarcity and climate
risk through interdisciplinary approaches working with public-private
partnerships. One goal of the Center is to develop a water risk and
sustainability framework for quantifying and analyzing climate induced
water risks. To achieve this goal, we seek two post-doc candidates to
manage these responsibilities:
Statistical Modeler
The selected candidate will work on our Global Flood Initiative to
develop spatio-temporal risk models at multiple time scales for floods
and associated climate fields. He/she will also help develop models to a
comprehensive risk analysis of water utilities and cities in the USA. In
both cases, innovation in financial instruments to transfer risk is of
interest. The successful candidate will consequently work in an
inter-disciplinary setting with engineers, statisticians and financial
analysts.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in Engineering, Earth & Environmental Science, Climate,
Operations Research, Risk Analysis, Computer Science, Finance or
Statistics with appropriate past work experience and interest in water
and climate extremes.
- Experience with Bayesian methods, machine learning, nonparametric
methods, and computational statistics desirable.
- We seek a candidate with strong quantitative and interdisciplinary
skills.
- Excellent English communication, technical writing and presentation
skills are required.
Hydrologic Modeler
The successful candidate will work on our Global Flood Initiative
linking climate and flood models at short and long lead times. This is
an effort to build a global capacity to forecast future water risks for
sustainable agriculture and water management. These require both strong
technical/engineering skills and analytical capabilities for
socio-political and cultural analyses. The Postdoctoral Research
Scientist will also be working closely with other senior scientists at
the center to develop, conduct and manage various research programs
within the Water Center.
Requirements:
- Ph.D. in any branch of Engineering or Earth Science with experience in
Computational Fluid Mechanics, applied to climate and hydraulic modeling
of river flows.
- Familiarity with the major hydroclimatic, earth surface and social
science databases, geospatial modeling and state of the art fluid
dynamics models is essential.
- Interests in improving and interpreting climate models through
Lagrangian modeling of atmospheric moisture transport associated with
extreme floods a plus.
- We seek a candidate with strong quantitative and interdisciplinary
skills.
- Excellent English communication, technical writing and presentation
skills are required.
These positions are full-time with a full benefit package. The initial
appointment will be for two years with the possibility of annual renewal
based on performance and the availability of funds. Past holders of
these positions have transitioned to faculty positions at other
Universities in 2-3 years. To apply, please email your cover letter and
resume before August 15, 2013 to <watercenter@columbia.edu>.
Columbia is an equal opportunity/affirmative action employer.
