I am a research seismologist and geophysicist at the U.S. Geological
Survey, Menlo Park, California
(See video presentation).
I am also a AGU member since 1974 (and Fellow since 1996).
My major interest is global Earth
crustal structure and tectonics, particularly of the continental lithosphere.
I was the branch Chief of Seismology from 1994 to 1997. I have led field work throughout North and South America and
participated in extensive research affiliations with colleagues in Mexico, Europe, Russia, China and Taiwan,
Japan, India, Australia, New Zealand, East Africa. I am a consulting Professor of Geophysics, Stanford University, and a
visiting faculty at the following institutions: University of Karlsruhe and Kiel University, Germany, University of Paris
and University of Strasbourg, France, Rice University, and the California Institute of Technology.
Finally, I am the Program Leader for the USGS contribution to the Indian Ocean Tsunami Warning System
(IOTWS)
and have extensive experience at leading training.
