Our research group applies seismic and other methods to image subsurface structures and processes at different scales. Current projects include:

• Imaging the deep crust of Oklahoma from induced earthquakes
• Seismic imaging of an alpine valley and its implications on paleoclimate
• Integration of passive and active seismic processing schemes
• Electrical resistivity imaging of shallow carbonate deposits and their relation to hydrological processes
