| Professor. Metamorphic Petrology, Tectonics, Ar Geochronology | |||
| Theoretical, experimental, and field studies of the rates of phase changes and tectonics. Theoretical modeling focuses on the interplay between deformation and metamorphism, while experimental studies of phase transformations are devoted to collecting fundamental quantitative data on reaction rates and mechanisms. Field work focuses on the process of ophiolite emplacement, the formation of unusually steep inverted metamorphic gradients, the exhumation of ultrahigh-pressure rocks, and the evolution of the Tibetan plateau. | |||

| Professor. Marine Geology and Geochemistry, Seafloor Hydrothermal Systems, Mid-Ocean Ridges, Seafloor Volcanism | |||
| Exploration and characterization of hydrothermal systems along the global mid-ocean ridge. Research centers on determining the interrelationships between hydrothermal and other (magmatic, tectonic, biological) ridge crest features/processes. This includes investigating the nature, time-scales and causes of temporal variability in ridge crest hydrothermal systems. | |||

| Assistant Professor. Seismology | |||
| Research effects focus on exploring the physical processes of large earthquakes with various modern geophysical observations, such as broadband seismograms, high-rate GPS, and radar interferometry. Current works include: developing a real-time finite fault inversion system to quickly evaluate the catastrophic tragedies caused by large shallow earthquakes globally; constraining the lateral variations of crustal structures using seismic waveform modeling techniques.

| Professor. Chemical Oceanography, Paleoceanography, Paleoclimatology | |||
| Research into controls on the chemical composition of the oceans in the present and past. Establish the key factors linking global climate and changing ocean composition. Research focuses on trace element and isotopic variation in the modern ocean and how that variation can be used to elucidate the characteristics of past oceans. | |||

| Professor. Tectonics, Geophysics, Paleomagnetic Methods | |||
| Research is divided into three main areas; 1) paleomagnetism and tectonics of southern California and Mojave desert; 2) structural studies in the Western Transverse Ranges, and offshore southern and central California; and 3) studies in Marie Byrd Land, west Antarctica. Research in all three areas involves the integration of various geophysical and structural techniques to address problems of tectonic evolution. | |||
