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.

Starting in Summer 2027, our research group will be moving to the Department of Earth, Energy, and Environment at the University of Calgary. I am recruiting graduate students to start in Fall 2027 at the University of Calgary.
