Research Interests

My research interests are focused on using earthquake seismology to study tectonics and on using geophysics to study shallow and surface processes. I am specifically interested in crustal and upper mantle structure, subduction zone processes, monogenetic volcanism, and seismic anisotropy. Much of my work focuses on studying the impact of subduction on the tectonic evolution of the North and South American Cordillera and on examining ground and surface water systems and volcanism in Arizona.
