Environmental Seismology and Natural Hazard
Modeling to Understand a Changing World.

I am currently a Postdoctoral Scholar in the Observational Seismology Group at UCDavis. I work on modeling debris flows from seismic signals using experimental data from the USGS Experimental Flume and observed data from Mt. Rainier and Mt. St. Helens.

Previously, I have worked on projects to understand seismic hazard and regional-scale fault systems in NW Canada, to model activated fault systems using induced seismicity data sets from Alberta, and to estimate real-time post-earthquake ground failure.
