Summary
The goal of my research w88 casinois to accurately image and characterize subsurface structures and conditions in seismically difficult areas, with high-resolution experiments. I constrain these observations with independent geophysical and geological data. The seismic characterization, imaging, tomography, and Monte-Carlo optimization techniques I develop improve w88 casino gamesthe productivity of resource exploration and development, and of hazards assessments. In particular, I try to describe the characteristics of earthquake faults and of sites in order to mitigate seismic hazards to life and property; and seismically image geothermal resources.
