tidal modulation of non-volcanic tremor

That's the title of my abstract. I wrote it this morning, and tomorrow is my last day here before I head home, yet my work is incomplete. I've been working with two professors here, Ken Creager and John Vidale, and there is still a lot of back-and-forth discussion about what to interpret my my figures, and many many rounds of revision of my code for my figures and creation of new figures to look at something slightly different. There's also a lot of time spent staring at the maps I've created in attempt to interpret them and decide where to go next.

I have many figures to work with, but none of them are completely satisfactory yet, certainly not ready for a poster. This example of one of my figures shows a map of the Puget Sound portion of the Cascadia Subduction Zone overlaid with dots for each tremor event/location during the May 2008 ETS episode, and the color of the dots correspond to the height of the tide during that tremor minus the average height of the tide for the time period. Therefore, the red regions are places where tremor was occuring at above-average tide while the blue dots indicate tremor during low tide.
