Research interests

I am using seismological data to understand active processes on various scales ranging from tectonic deformation to glacial microseismicity.

• Selected methods:
Local earthquake data collection and processing: Automated earthquake location for large continuous datasets |  Application of single and joint (re)location methods | Determination of focal mechanisms | Shear wave splitting
Seismic travel time tomography: Local and/or teleseismic tomography | Joint finite frequency tomography including local and telseismic data

• And applications:
Continental collision and dynamics of the lithosphere: Understanding the feedback between topography, crustal and deep lithospheric structure | Understanding the reasons for deep seismicity in continental settings
Cryoseisology: see BEAMISH project for details
