CURRENT RESEARCH
Research Assistant, University of Alaska Fairbanks, 2002- current.
I am currently analyzing the Alaska Volcano Observatory’s earthquake catalog and
determining seismicity rate changes for different volcanoes along the Aleutian Arc,
Alaska. The seismicity rate changes will be used to determine whether there is
continuity in rates between neighboring volcanoes.
