ABOUT STEPHEN'S RESEARCH

Stephen’s research aims to answer a variety of scientific problems surrounding earthquake ruptures, tectonic plate boundaries, and dynamic processes in the Earth's solid interior. Stephen has published worked on subduction zone plate boundaries, which have helped to develop life on Earth, but they have the power to take life away during damaging earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Stephen uses recordings of seismic waves from earthquakes to probe the complex 3-D subsurface structure of subduction zones and to understand the mechanics of large earthquake ruptures.
