As a geophysicist, my main research interests are in
geodynamics
and
seismology
with focus on the interactions between mantle convection, surface
geology, and Earth evolution. We integrate geological, geophysical,
and geochemical data into dynamical models focusing on the physics of
plate tectonics, from grain-scale deformation to plate-scale flow.
Recent projects include work
on seismic
anisotropy, mantle heat transport
and the mechanics of plate
tectonics, subduction dynamics,
and fault system mechanics.
I am also senior editor of
Geochemistry, Geophysics,
Geosystems (G3), an interdisciplinary journal with impact factor
of 3.37 in 2010. Please feel free to contact
me if you have any comments or questions regarding G3.
We have research opportunities for highly
motivated undergrad and grad students.
My teaching interests include
Geophysics, Mechanics of Lithospheric Deformation, Quantitative
Methods in the Earth Sciences, Numerical Geodynamics, and
the Solid Earth
Research and Teaching Environment (SEATREE).
