How are stresses stored and released in the Earth's crust? What determines the expected size of an earthquake? How do faults and fault systems react to small stress perturbations e.g. as a result of fluid-injection or extraction? How are large earthquakes connected to micro-scale processes and what can these processes reveal about fault structure and crustal stresses? To address these issues, I conduct laboratory earthquake-analog experiments, analyze earthquake source parameters and crustal stress variations, determine moment tensors and model poroelastic stress changes that lead to induced seismicity. Take a look at my publication and research site for more details. Please contact me if your interested in collaborations. I am especially interested to discuss research opportunities and projects for undergraduate and graduate students. |
