He has served as head of the Department of Geophysics since 1983. His research and consulting work has included monitoring for underground nuclear explosions to estimate risk of large magnitude earthquakes, as well as monitoring for earthquakes as close to home as Chatfield Reservoir and as far away as Puerto Rico and Iran. He is the author or co-author of many publications and has made numerous invited national and international presentations. The Office of Graduate Studies and Research will be well-served by his leadership and his experience.
