Geosciences
Geochemistry: Members are interested in the formation and evolution of planetary crusts, and the surface expressions of subsurface magnatic, hydrothermal, and aqueous flow systems.
Seismology: Members are interested in tectonic structures within the solid earth and the lithosphere. Imaging is accomplished through seismic waveform modeling in 1, 2 and 3-D using synthetic seismograms. Of particular interest are highly complex and unusual seismic signals resulting from exotic sources and/or complex seismic wave propagation. Computation of synthetic seismograms, takes place in massively parallel computers housed within the department and at super computing centers around the world.
