Setting up a campaign-style GPS unit in Joshua Tree National Park, September 2006.

Research Interests:

I am using both campaign and continuous GPS data in order to estimate fault slip rates in southern California, primarily along the southern San Andreas and into the eastern California shear zone.  I am also using the GPS site velocities to model the elastic loading rates assosicated with the southern San Andreas fault system, using an elastic half-space model.
