Congratulations to Dr. Alice Gabriel winning the Charles Richter Early Career Award

Alice-Agnes Gabriel has been honored with the  Charles F. Richter Early Career Award for her innovative research in earthquake rupture dynamics and tsunami genesis, among other topics, using physics-based models and high-performance computing.

Gabriel, an assistant professor at the Institute of Geophysics at Ludwig-Maximilians-Universität München, is best known for her prolific research in earthquake physics, using high-performance computing to simulate large earthquakes. Her computational simulations are notable for their inclusion of complex rock responses and 3D fault geometry provided by real-world geophysical and geological investigations. In particular, her studies have focused on the influence of off-fault rock deformation and fault complexities such as roughness and segmentation on rupture properties.
