Research Summary

My interests are in the investigation of the Earth's structure using seismology. I model seismic waveformsto define Earth's structure such as ULVZs and the D" discontinuity. I also been involved in development of new seismic array processing methods and in Bayesian waveform inversion. I also do shallow environmental geophysics work including electrical resistivity tomography (ERT), magnetometry, and micro-gravity analysis. Research is related to the Great Salt Lake and Glaciers
