The Nemmers Prize in Earth Sciences
2022 Nemmers Prize in Earth Sciences Recipient
Emily Brodsky
University of California, Santa Cruz
For her “fundamental, transdisciplinary contributions to understanding the physics of earthquake networks at all scales.”
As an earthquake physicist, Emily Brodsky studies the mechanics underlying earthquakes to address questions about the processes that trigger earthquakes and the constraining forces that processes that occur inside a fault zone during slip. More »
