MEFISTO, cementation, and subduction
May 21, 2021
The team’s latest work uses MEFISTO to look at the record of seismicity along the Aleutian margin. The skinny is that feedbacks between earthquake ruptures, cementation, and fluid pressure and flow account for observed clustering in the size, spacing, and timing of earthquakes! https://pubs.geoscienceworld.org/gsa/geology/article-abstract/doi/10.1130/G48741.1/598765/How-cementation-and-fluid-flow-influence-slip
MEFISTO V 2 now available
Dec 23, 2020
MEFISTO has been updated to version 2. This version includes a fix to the bulk permeability calculation between neighboring cells, using the harmonic mean.

Output visualization with MEFISTO
Aug 16, 2020
Output of MEFISTO can be saved in stored frames using the frame_int variable. This records conditions on the subduction interface every <frame_int> steps (“int” meaning “interval”). So use a smaller number for a higher frame rate. You can then make animations by contouring the “frame” variables (loc_frame for cell location, fluid_pressure_frame, etc.). Below are two […]
