Real name:
Professor, Geosciences
Degree(s):
Ph.D., University of Michigan, 1987
Research Interests:
My research involves using broadband seismology to understand mountain belts, earthquakes and faulting. I am interested in the evolution of the North and South American Cordilleras with much of my current research on the south central Andes. I am also working on earthquakes and Earth structure associated with subduction zones and strike-slip plate boundaries.
