Projects and Deployments

The Global Seismology and Tectonics Group is involved in broadband and active source seismology studies of earthquake sources, Earth structure and active tectonics. We study earthquakes and the structure related to subduction zones from the megathrust earthquakes to the structure of the arc volcanoes to large-scale tomographic imaging of orogenic systems. We collect data or use existing seismic data from South America, the western US, Japan and Turkey. A few of our current projects are listed below:
