  Research Groups: Paleoseismology and Neotectonics, Structural Geology, Tectonics and Geodynamics, Geomorphology, Seismology and Tectonics, Quaternary Research

Areas of Interest:
Neotectonics, structural geology, crustal deformation, evolution of topography, fault zone processes

Education:
Ph.D. Stanford University, 1998 B.A. summa cum laude, Amherst College, 1989

Current Research Interests:
I study the physical processes involved in faulting, crustal deformation and the associated changes in Earth's surface. These interests encompass the structure of faults and fault zones, triggering of earthquakes, the geologic record of past earthquakes, the form and evolution of fault scarps. My recent work with students has focused on neotectonics of the Pacific Northwest, including Neogene faulting, deformation within the volcanic arc, and the rise of the North Cascades. We balance field study with analytical and computer modeling to evaluate the factors that influence the tectonic landforms and deformation we observe. The courses I teach cover topics from the deformation of rocks and the physics behind Earth processes to monitoring of geologic hazards and exploration for energy resources.
