Research

Interdisciplinary research interests include the following:

• thermodynamics, phase transitions, thermoelasticity, and mineral physics
• structure, composition, and dynamics of planetary interiors
• subduction and deep earthquake processes
• seismology and time-series analysis
• kinematics of mixing processes
• population dynamics, ecology, geoarchaeology, and environmental change
• strain energy propagation in networks
