Natural Hazard Science for a Changing World.

Environmental Seismology at Mt. St. Helens

Collecting seismic nodes on the North Face of Mt. St. Helens, Washington State, USA.

We use seismology tools and methods to study active processes on the Earth's surface and are currently focused on mass movements and other slope hazards. We are currently housed in the Observational Seismology Group @ UC Davis.

Current Research Topics

  • Debris Flows and Outburst Floods on the Cascade Volcanos
  • Rockfall, Retreating Permafrost, and Climate-related Slope Weathering in the Canadian Arctic
  • Earthquakes, Aftershocks, and Earthquake-Triggered Hazards in Yukon and Alaska
