Seismology
Research at UCSB

 
  Seismology
  Seismological research covers strong motion seismology, seismic sources, local and regional site characteristics, local wave amplification, seismic wave propagation modeling, seismic tomography, and planetary seismology. Faculty at UCSB also study paleoseismology and the deformation associated with active fault systems.
