My students and I have worked on crustal structure in several geographical regions. Much of this work is tied to tectonically active areas, such as the New Madrid seismic zone or Cascadia, as they relate to seismic hazard. Included here are studies aimed at understanding crustal evolution of the southeastern U.S.  and western Alaska.
