Seismology
Research involving seismology is a core strength of CERI. Our research interests cover
most aspects of seismology and range from near surface processes to studies involving
the lithosphere and asthenosphere. Theoretical developments as well as observational
studies are used to address outstanding problems in seismology that pertain to local,
regional, and global phenomena. Our strength in seismology links the various research
efforts at CERI and facilitates interaction between our faculty members. The result
is a vibrant research group on the forefront of solving problems in a collegial, stimulating
environment.
The research interests from faculty affiliated with Seismology include:
- Wave propagation
- Crustal and mantle velocity and anisotropy structure
