About Me
Publications
I specialize in field- and remote sensing-based studies of fault and earthquake behavior. I have studied fault behavior through time using field surveys, lidar analysis, and advanced dating methods. Currently, I use InSAR and optical image correlation to study earthquake ruptures and interseismic deformation.
