I recently started my second postdoctoral project under the guidance of Dr. Fred Pollitz and Dr. David Schmidt. Utilizing a geophysical modeling tool called VISCO2.5D (Pollitz, 2014), we have begun modeling early-stage postseismic deformation in areas surrounding the Noto Peninsula, Japan. We consider both viscoelastic relaxation and afterslip. As I make progress, I will upload some results here! Currently we only use GNSS data, but we plan to incorporate InSAR data into our analysis to enhance our models!
