From the perspectives of
theoretical, numerical modeling and observational seismology, my research to date
has focused on understanding fault mechanical behavior and strength evolution
in relation to a range of lithospheric deformation modes, including
earthquakes and episodic aseismic slip events, along major plate boundaries. Current research projects
(click for details): (1) Source mechanism
of episodic slow slip events and non-volcanic tremors in subduction zones and
their relation to megathrust earthquakes (2) Pore fluid
pressure coupling with frictional strength and slip and application to
megathrust ruptures (3) Effects of subducted
seamounts on seismic coupling (4) Frictional behavior
of oceanic transform faults and earthquake scaling characteristics (5) Dynamic and static stress
triggering of shallow fault creep events and earthquakes (6) Glacier-bedrock
sliding process. Graduate study (M. Sc.
and/or Ph.D.) and undergraduate summer project opportunities are available to
work on a variety of earthquake and glacier deformation problems. Contact me
for further information. |
