Subducting Water

I use recevier functions to estimate the amount of water that subducts into the Earth along its convergent plate boundaries. This involves automated processing of decades of seismogrmas and inversion of the seismic waveform for anisotropic elastic subsurface properties.

Fault Interaction

I built high-resolution seismic event and focal mechanism catalogs from dense temporary local seismic networks to illuminate the suite of continental fault zones that got activated during an earhquake sequence that struck the Pamir Plateau of Central Asia between 2015 and 2017. This research allowed for the identification of tectonically active structures and the interpretation of earthquake occurrence in a refined seismotectonic context.
