My name is Baoning Wu. I am an earth science researcher who studies earthquakes. I mainly use this site to share my research.
I am a postdoctoral scholar at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego since December 2024. I was a postdoctoral scholar at the University of Southern California 2021-2024. I earned my PhD at UC Riverside in 2021. You may find more about me in my latest CV.
My research covers a wide range of topics. However, a common theme is to re-evaluate existing theoretical models and to reconcile old and new observations. Some recent questions I investigated include:
What is the physical meaning of rate-and-state state variable,
What is the physical mechanism of slow earthquakes,
How does Earth's surface affect the tsunami-genesis of subduction earthquakes,
How to physically interpret the back-projection results of earthquake high-frequency radiation,
You can check on the Research page and my Google Scholar profile for details of my research interests.
