- Aubreya Adams, Associate Professor of Earth and Environmental Geosciences h-index 9
My research interests include studying earthquake characteristics and studying the structure of Earth's crust and mantle using seismic waves created by earthquakes. Much of my published works focus on areas of active deformation and v

- Emerson Lynch, Visiting Assistant Professor of Earth and Environmental Geosciences
My research focuses on the interplay between low-strain-rate crustal faults and the subduction zone plate interface—specifically, what drives upper-plate deformation, and where, when, and how big past earthquakes were. Many low-strain
