- This paper predicts the strength and stability of clay-rich materials typically found in major fault zones. The model is a significant step forward allowing extrapolation of laboratory-derived frictional properties to natural conditions, applied here to convergent plate boundaries. This work has resulted in a collaboration with Cardiff University, led to two follow up studies, contributed to obtaining a National Science Foundation grant (Award number 1347344, $110,000) and European Commission Marie Skłodowska-Curie Individual Fellowship (Proposal nr. 658464, €183,454.80). [Contact: Cardiff University] An independent study has implemented the model (DOI: 10.1093/gji/ggw058).
