Geophysics, tectonics, applied Seismology


Research: My research is focused on understanding the structure and dynamic evolution of continental lithosphere using a multidisciplinary approach.  In this approach, several types of geophysical data (i.e., seismic, gravity, heat flow) are gathered in the field and then used to critically evaluate models for continental structure.  Descriptions of current projects in Africa, Antarctica and North America can be found at: http://spall.geosc.psu.edu
