My research interests broadly cluster around employing observational seismology to understand tectonic, magmatic, and near surface geological processes. The focus of my research has thus far included seismic imaging of the continental crust and uppermost mantle in active orogenic systems where the surface expression of numerous geological processes are vibrantly echoed in the lithospheric and upper mantle structure. The recent explosion of high-quality openly available seismic data, increasing availability of low-cost seismic instrumentation, and advances in imaging techniques have allowed long-outstanding scientific questions, and in some cases, the reevaluation of currently accepted ideas, to be investigated in unprecedented detail.
