ETS Papers
Notes taken by Nathaniel Borneman

Brudzinski and Allen
Why did they choose to project to the 40km contour?
-Roughly where E TS occurs
-Why not 35 km?
How well constrained are these depths/is the depth projection valid?
-not really addressed
What causes the variation in ETS recurrence?
-ETS is younger near the edges of the plate
-Is age more correlated to proximity to triple junction or to topographic domain?
-jumps in recurrence interval could correlate to where transfo rms proj ect
-topography is used as a tool to demonstrate different geologic provinces, the correlation is not intended to be
directly to topography
Ghosh et al.
Figure 4 and earthquakes vs. ETS
-How can they compare decades of earthquakes to weeks of ETS?
--timescales are too different
--Kao et al showed this better w / decadal time sca les for earthquakes and ETS
Are earthquakes and ETS mutually exclusive?
-this paper does not sh ow this
Kao et al.
Good paper
!
