seldom more welcome

greetings and salutations

i turned 37 yesterday. in several days i will be on the other side of the world, about 6,900 nautical miles away. i will post comments to keep my friends and family aware of my existence. lately my fingers have been typing verrry long emails, so be aware.

chicken is my cat's name. i study earthquakes. i will be on R/V Revelle, a ship out of Scripps, studying turbidites (submarine landslides) that may be generated during strong shaking caused by subduction zone earthquakes along the sunda trench offshore Sumatra and Java. i will be working with chris goldfinger (oregon state, COAS, my advisor). he has used this method along the Cascadia subduction zone (CSZ) and the northern San Andres fault (SAF). google away.
