My research interests are in using seismic methods to study the uppermost
subsurface of the Earth. I have experience with both earthquake and controlled
source data. The controlled-source experiments are conducted to define depth to
bedrock, water table, and fractures. In addition to seismic method I use Ground
Penetrating Radar (GPR) analysis. This summer I worked with two students over a
period of 8 weeks. We completed a summer research project on defining depth to
bedrock, on the Randolph College campus. My intention is to continue to do
similar work in different areas in Lynchburg. My interest in earthquake
seismology is focused on using different signal processing techniques to monitor
changes in the Earth’s crust before and after a major earthquake. I will be
working on some California data in the next couple of years, in collaboration
with scientists from Georgia Tech. I work with seismic equipment, two sets of
GPR, and a seismograph station currently being installed at RC by Virginia Tech.
