Research

Read about my research projects in the areas of earthquakes/tectonics, volcanoes, glaciers, and Interferometric Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR).

I also have active research in planetary science in collaboration with Jim Bell, Ole Gustafson, Nathan Williams and the Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter Camera (LROC) team.
We are using this great new instrument to learn more about lunar volcanic deposits and enigmatic faults in the lunar highlands that may reveal the origin of the Moon!

I am a member of Cornell's multi-disciplinary programs in the Andes, Geophysics & Active Tectonics, Planetary Geology & GeophysicsRemote Sensing and I am a faculty fellow with the  Cornell Center for a Sustainable Future.

I use and help maintain the department's field geophysics equipment.
