Terry Tullis has lead the first joint meeting between MIT and Brown University. Terry summarized the state-of-the-art in rate-and-state friction. The meeting was video linked to MIT and other universities and research institutions, more then 20 people participated. The goal of our Colaborative Organization for Rock Deformation (CORD) is to encourage and facilitate participation in experimental rock deformation studies by a broader spectrum of scientists within the Earth science community.
