My main research interests: Spatial and temporal patterns of earthquake occurrence, collective behavior of regional fault systems, transient strain accumulation and release, structural geology of active and ancient faults & folds, seismic hazard assessment, controls on earthquake nucleation, propagation, and arrest, discreteness of deformation in the lithosphere.
Some of the techniques we use: Tectonic geomorphology, paleoseismologic trenching, analysis of LiDAR airborne laser swath mapping digital topographic data, cosmogenic dating, high-resolution seismic reflection imagery, paleoseismologic trenching, and good old-fashioned field mapping. |
