Education:
BS, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1974
MS, Massachusetts Institute of Technology, 1975
PhD, MIT-Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution, 1984
Research Interests:
Applied and theoretical seismology, faulting processes of large earthquakes; tectonics of mid-ocean ridges, island arcs, and regions of continental extension.
Current Research:
Rupture processes of large earthquakes (global studies); effects of preexisting fault-zone geometry on earthquake rupture initiation and termination; tectonics of North China, back-arc regions of Indonesia, and regions of continental extension; effects of mid-ocean-ridge topography on seismic wave forms; seismicity of eastern United States; techniques for analysis of earthquake source mechanisms.
