Graduate Student Positions: We invite motivated students to join the URI Seismolab in 2010. Research in the lab involves studies of earthquake sources and earth structure, with a strong focus on inversion and imaging based on 3D full-wave simulations. The lab has a state-of-art computational facility and is in the process of upgrading it to a more powerful system designed specifically for computational seismology. The lab also has a small pool of portable broadband seismometers for temporary field deployments. Further information on graduate admission is available from the Academic Affairs Office and Prof. Yang Shen (yshen@gso.uri.edu).
November, 2009: Data from a small array of broadband seismic stations in the northeast Tibetan plateau reveal a sharp change in the crustal thickness north of the Kunlun mountains and a north-dipping structure associated the thrust fault systems. More in a recent EPSL paper (pdf).
