Research projects are here divided broadly into geodynamics and seismology, and more information can be found by clicking on the navigation bars above. You might also be interested in our field projects, the Solid Earth Teaching and Research Environment, iGMT, the Unified Geodynamics Earth Science Computing Environment, or other data, visualizations, and software.

We are always looking for motivated undergraduate and graduate students and highly talented post-docs from the natural and computer sciences and engineering, please see the News: Research Opportunities page.

Our research has been funded by NSF, NASA, USGS, NASA, Chevron, DAAD, and the Humboldt Foundation. Their support is greatfully acknowledged.
