Professor

Research Interests:

• Rock mechanics laboratory experiments, high-speed friction and direct shear experiments, physical properties.
• Theoretical developments in earthquake physics relating changes in fault rheology during the earthquake cycle and the onset of unstable slip (origins of slow and fast earthquakes etc.).
• Long-term ocean observatory developments. Combining offshore geodetics and physical oceanography to facilitate enhanced integrated cross-disciplinary marine science.
• Marine hydrological/geochemical instrumentation development to study the interactions between hydrology/gas hydrates/active tectonic and aqueous geochemical variations.

Degrees:

• B.S., University of Edinburgh, Scotland
• Ph.D., University of Durham, England
