On February 6th, 2023, Türkiye and Syria experienced the devastating effects of two large (magnitude 7.8 and 7.5) earthquakes, which triggered more than 200 aftershocks. A recent study led by first author, Gesa Maria Petersen, maps two fault zones using data produced from these earthquakes, uncovering never before mapped fault sections and ground motion along these faults. 

Sara Agard is a Geo-Launchpad intern that recently completed her first year at Central New Mexico Community College studying pre-health science. This summer, she will be mapping the St.Vrain using QGIS over the past decade to collect research on the behavior of flood plains.

Kaden Berkhahn is a RESESS intern from Milwaukee, Wisconsin spending the summer in Boulder, Colorado. This summer, Kaden is working on a project examining megacrystic zircon from kimberlite pipes.
