Welcome to the new Rock Deformation Lab at the University of Southern California!
Our group's research investigates the rheology of fault and shear zones using a combination of field, experimental, and microanalytical methods to determine how deformation at the grain scale influences the strength of the lithosphere, controls large-scale tectonics, and the earthquake cycle.
