Research title and goals

“Unraveling Fluid-Fault Interactions Through a Physics-Based Multiscale Numerical Framework.”

The research aims to demonstrate the across-scale interactions between fault slip and fluids based on novel numerical methods, including how these interactions essentially and fundamentally exacerbate or alleviate earthquakes.
