Summary

Dr. w88 online casino studied geology as an undergraduate at the University of Santa Barbara and seismology as a graduate student at the Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University. Following brief stops as a post-doctoral researcher at California Institute of Geology and as a Research Professor at the University of Memphis, he accepted his current position as a member of the Academic faculty and Director of the Center for Neotectonic Studies here at the University of Nevada, Reno in 1989. During his 30 years at UNR he has combined his interests in geology and seismology in researching aspects of the mechanics of the earthquake process that may be used to quantify seismic hazard and deformation of the earth’s crust through geologic time

w88 online casino interests

The main focus of my research over the years has been study of geologically recent motions w88 online casino Earth's crust, particularly those produced by earthquakes, with the goals of understanding the physics of earthquake recurrence, the growth of mountains, and the seismic hazard embodied in these processes.
