Venus, often called Earth’s evil twin, is home to some of the most peculiar geological features in the solar system. Among ...

My research interests span several orders of magnitude from crustal-scale tectonic processes to microstructural and textural problems. Much of my work focuses on understanding the relationships and ...

In 1998, the SHIPS (Seismic Hazards Investigation in Puget Sound) program acquired seismic reflection data through Puget Sound as part of a large survey aimed at mapping the subsurface architecture to ...

Highlights include: In the next few years, we will bring modelling of multiphase systems and the new wealth of environmental data combined with recent advances in machine learning to bear on our ...

Seattle, Tacoma, Everett, Olympia and Bremerton all sit uncomfortably close to crustal faults. And new evidence suggests that in the aggregate, those faults might rupture more frequently than ...

Papers with interesting supplementary info (which can be a pain to track down, so I've provided bundled links), movies, and selected recent papers. More publications on my CIRES page. Tectonic ...
