We focus on improving our understanding of the lithosphere/mantle
system, including the general workings of plate tectonics and Earth's
evolution. Research projects are here divided broadly
into geodynamics
and seismology, and more information (such
as publication PDFs) can be found by
clicking on the navigation bars above. You might also be interested in
the Solid Earth
Teaching and Research Environment (SEATREE),
the iGMT GUI for GMT, or other data and
software that can be found on the the downloads
page.
We are always looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students and highly talented post-docs from the natural and computer sciences. For research opportunities, please see the News page and check out my Ph.D. in the US FAQ.
Funding for my projects has come from the National Science Foundation (CD, Geophysics, CSEDI, EAR-CAREER), the Southern California Earthquake Center, the United States Geological Survey, the German Academic Exchange Service, the European Science Foundation, the Green Foundation, and the Heraeus Foundation. (All the views expressed on these pages are my own and do not necessarily represent those of the funding agencies mentioned above.) For more information or if you are interested in reprints of journal articles, please follow the links to PDF files, or contact me directly.
