Student Opportunities!
I am always looking for motivated graduate students to join the Earthquake Physics group here at UCR. Most of my work uses the tools of seismology and remote sensing to examine a wide range of phenomena related to crustal deformation, faulting, and hydrologic effects (see Research section). Please e-mail me and check out the Department of Earth Sciences website if you are interested in applying or finding out more.
