A major focus of my research is using the magnetotelluric method to study the geological processes that occur as the the continents evolve. This includes studies of active plate boundaries and ongoing investigations of the factors that control the earthquake cycle on major faults.

Continent-continent collisions Tibetan Plateau and the Himalaya Eastern Anatolia

Convergent plate boundaries Canadian Cordillera Taiwan

Impact craters Chicxulub Impact Crater
