About:

I am a field geologist who combines structural geology, active tectonics, and tectonic geomorphology in both onshore and offshore environments to investigate the timing, rates, and processes of crustal deformation. My interests center around:
   
  • how the landscape response to fault slip can be used to compliment paleo-seismic and seismic records to characterize the slip history of seismogenic and tsunamigenic faults in onshore and offshore environments.
  • how temporal and spatial patterns of deformation can be used to interpret the dynamics of lithospheric-scale deformation.
  • how outcrop-scale, core-scale, and micro-scale deformation can be used to investigate processes that lead to seismic slip
