Current Research projects

1. Leveraging InSAR for Observation and modelling of earthquake Generators (LInOG) - DOST-PCIEERD funded project

The goal of the LInOG Project is to generate models of fault deformation that will help determine where and how fast faults are accumulating seismic moment (equivalent to seismic energy) to allow us to understand the fundamental mechanics of deformation of the fault, which has implications for future seismic hazard.

2. Active faulting and earthquake potential of the Sindangan-Cotabato Fault

This work aims to determine the seismogenic potential of the Sindangan-Cotabato Fault (SCF).
