I use active-source seismology together with other geophysical and geological data to investigate deformation and magmatism at plate boundaries, including continental rifts and rifted margins, subduction zones, and transform boundaries.
Some current and upcoming research projects:
Alaska subduction zone
ALEUT - Marine seismic imaging of the Alaska subduction zone
Alaska Amphibious Community Seismic Experiment - Onshore/offshore passive seismic study of Alaska subduction zone
East African Rift
SEGMeNT - Multidisciplinary, multinational study of rifting and magmatism in the southern part of the East Africa rift
Atlantic rift basins and rifted margins
SUGAR - Onshore seismic refraction study of the South Georgia rift basin
Galicia 3D - 3D marine seismic reflection imaging of the rifted margin off Galicia (link to blog about research cruise)
Eastern North American Margin Community Seismic Experiment - Onshore/offshore, active/passive seismic study of the formation and evolution of the mid-Atlantic continental margin
Corinth Rift
IODP Expedition 381 - IODP Drilling of the active Corinth Rift
Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain
Hawaiian-Emperor Seismic Experiment - Marine seismic imaging of Hawaiian-Emperor Seamount Chain
Marmara Sea transform basin
TAMAM - High-resolution marine seismic imaging of recent tectonic and sedimentary history of Marmara Sea
Kodiak Island for Alaska Amphibious Community Seismic Experiment
