Developing a guide for students and researchers curious about physics-based earthquake modeling (dynamic rupture models) in press at SRL!

At the end of my PhD, I was asked by my dissertation committee regarding what I would have done differently or what I wish I had access to. One thing I felt was missing from the field was an approachable manual/guide that clearly laid out the various modeling approaches earthquake scientists need to consider for dynamic rupture. So, I took it upon myself to write one! Link to recently accepted article is here!
