About Me
I am a seismologist, aiming to use seismic data to better understand Earth structure and processes. My focus ranges from Earth’s core to tectonics, with much of my recent work applied to earthquakes and fault zones. I principally use data from seismic arrays, some of which are deployed by me. I am particularly interested in using dense deployments of temporary seismic instruments for high resolution seismicity analysis and imaging.
