Position

Professor of Seismology

Departmental responsibilities

Head of Department. Courses in level 2/3 applied geophysics, level 3 global tectonics; Director of Research.

Research Interests

My research interests cover global, exploration and theoretical seismology, with an emphasis on seismic anisotropy. Current research in global geophysics concentrates on the structure of the lowermost-mantle, continental cratons, mid-ocean ridges and subduction zones. This research involves concurrent data analysis and waveform modelling. In exploration seismology my interests lie in microseismicity, rock-fracture characterization, linked seismic and geomechanical modelling, and salt anisotropy.
