Geodynamics Research A sample of research in geodynamics: Geological processes over a wide range of scales are being addressed.

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.
