Research
Crust and mantle lithosphere 3D seismic tomographic imaging beneath the Pacific-North America plate boundary in southern California using onshore and ocean bottom seismometer data. The goal is to relate plate boundary dynamics to lateral variations in San Andreas fault and other onshore and offshore fault system geometries, and to mantle flow processes.
