~~NOTOC~~
====== Research Interests ======

I study active processes that deform the earth's crust, including earthquakes, slip transients and interseismic deformation on plate boundary faults, volcanic inflation, and the kinematics of slow moving landslides.  My students and I utilize space geodetic data, particularly GPS and InSAR.  I am also interested in tectonic processes, subduction dynamics, seafloor geodesy, and natural hazards.  

I am involved in several initiatives and research efforts on campus that are addressing important societal issues, such as the implementation of [[https://www.pnsn.org/pnsn-data-products/earthquake-early-warning|earthquake early warning]], [[https://cascadiacopeshub.org| hazards and community resilience]], and [[http://www.seattletimes.com/seattle-news/science/earthquake-early-warning-gets-a-boost-from-businesses/|offshore monitoring of the Cascadia subduction zone]].
