Seismological recordings of volcanic processes are both the most abundant and most widely used by volcano monitoring agencies for real-time hazard assessment. Volcano seismology is most powerful when combined with other geophysical and geological information.
I am looking for students with skills in mathematics and physics who are primarily interested in seismology and infrasound research, but eager to conduct interdisciplinary work to enhance seismic modeling. I encourage students to be involved with acquiring data for their projects, which could mean significant time in the field within the U.S. or abroad.
Michigan Tech's strengths in volcanology and remote sensing are excellent complements for students interested in volcano seismology and crustal deformation. I am currently working with students on seismic investigations of crustal structure and volcanic processes. For more information, please contact me.
