Recently concluded research

Below is a partial list of publications and presentations from recent projects. For a more complete list, please see my CV.

Recent work includes work on the M6.9 1983 Borah Peak Earthquake, investigations of faulting in the Sevier Desert, and mapping the distribution of creep along and across a portion of the central San Andreas Fault. That work resulted in the publications below (and one other is currently in review).
