Our group had a successful showing earlier this month at the American Geophysical Union (AGU) National Meeting in San Francisco!

We were  involved in 4 presentations about our research in Eastern Tibet and  Taiwan:

• T13C-2548: Huang, C., Byrne, T. and  Ouimet, W., 2013,  An Active Crustal-Scale Thrust in an On Land Accretionary Wedge: Tulungwan Fault in the Southern Taiwan
• T21G-06: Byrne, T.; Rau, R., Kuo-Chen, H., Lee, Y., Ouimet, W., Van Soest, M., Huang, C. and Wu, F., 2013, Seismic Tomography Reveals Breaking Crust and Lithosphere Beneath a Classic Orogen
• T22E-01: Kirby, E., Furlong, K., Cook, K., Ouimet, W., Shi, X., Wang, E., Kamp, P. and Hodges, K., 2013, On the extent and significance of Oligocene mountain building in eastern Tibet
• T24C-02: Ouimet, W., Byrne, T., Siame, L., Bierman, P. and Rood, D., 2013, Slow Erosion Rates, Increasing Relief and Transient Landscape Evolution within the Central Range of Taiwan

Will and UConn Geosciences colleague Tim Byrne chaired a Tectonophysics session at the meeting titled ‘Seismology, Active Tectonics and Geomorphology in South and East Asia’ that had 3 poster sessions and 4 oral sessions.  Overall, it was a great showcase for the group’s active research in Asia, especially Taiwan.
