Bio

My research is focused on the determining the seismic structure and geologic evolution of northeastern Asia, and its application to the evolution of intra-continental plate boundaries; current projects include baseline seismicity and crustal structure studies of eastern Russia and the location, tectonics and evolution of the North America-Eurasia plate boundary in continental Asia using seismicity, neotectonics, and remote sensing. My secondary interest is in the historical seismicity of Michigan and northern Illinois, including mining induced events. I work extensively with K-12 teachers in the state through the Michigan Earth Science Teachers Association and coordinate the Michigan Seismographs in Schools network (MIQuakes).
