Meredith Nettles
Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Sciences

Meredith's research focuses on tomographic imaging of the Earth's upper mantle and studies of the earthquake source. Tomographic work includes the development of a robust and well-constrained model of the radially anisotropic, 3-D shear velocity structure of the upper mantle beneath North America. Current earthquake studies include an effort to constrain the source characteristics of glacial earthquakes and the processes that lead to those earthquakes. In addition, Meredith has a nascent interest in glaciology, and spends a large fraction of her time working on a major interdisciplinary geophysical observing campaign at Helheim Glacier, in East Greenland (see "Glacial Earthquakes", below).
Meredith is also a co-PI of the Global CMT project, working to support and improve the routine analysis of moderate and large earthquakes worldwide.
