HONORS AND AWARDS |
|
| 1996 - Fellow, Geological Society of America | |
| 1990 - Royal Society of New Zealand annual prize for Geophysics | |
Tectonic processes, the temperature field, and the rheology of the crust and upper mantle in continental margins in regions characterized by strike-slip motion, rifting, subduction, and large sediment loads. The effects of these processes and properties on earthquake and tsunami hazards. The use and development of acquisition and processing techniques for seismic, acoustic, and potential field data. Exploration of Polar Regions to assess their past and present environmental impact on global climate change.
