Research

My research focuses on understanding the processes that govern natural and anthropogenic hazards. These studies incorporate large quantities of remote sensing data such as space-based differential interferometric synthetic aperture radar (DInSAR), GPS data, seismicity and gravity, in order provide insights into the nature and scale of these hazards. ÌýSpecific projects focus on improvements in the quality of those data, development of innovative analysis techniques and assimilation into geophysical models of the underlying processes. ÌýAs part of that effort we investigate the implications and consequences of hazards such as earthquakes, volcanoes, landslides, groundwater extraction, and induced seismicity on infrastructure and society.Ìý
