Ian Main FRSE, FRSA, MAE, Professor of Seismology and Rock Physics. Research Ian is interested in the processes that lead up to catastrophic failure events, from earthquakes, rock fracture, and volcanic eruptions to failure of building materials and bridges, and in quantifying the resulting hazard. He is particularly interested in the ...

Introduction. I am interested in the physical and statistical properties of catastrophic failure events, from earthquakes (natural and induced), rock fracture, and volcanic eruptions to failure of...

Ian G Main. We used a laboratory scale model to study the effects aligned fractures might have on seismic wave propagation at a larger scale in real Earth imaging. Our main objective was to ...
