A wide
range of geodynamics research is carried out in the Seismo Lab involving
faculty, post docs, and students. Ongoing efforts include:
The development
of advanced
numerical models of tectonic processes constrained by geological
and geophysical observations. In particular, the use of such models to
provide a physical basis for interpretation of seismological observations
made on local, regional, and global scales. Our development of computational
models is being coordinated through our GeoFrameworks project http://www.geoframework.org/.
The collection
of geodetic observations, including radar interferometry and GPS (both
temporary and permanent deployments), and the use of this data to constrain
models of regional tectonic and volcanic processes, as well as the rheological
structure of the lithosphere.
We have detailed descriptions
of various projects in geodynamics.
