I am an observational and computational seismologist. My research involves deployment of broadband seismographs as permanent stations and temporary arrays to record ground motion data. The recorded data are analysed using seismological techniques to model (a) the velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle, (b) earthquake source mechanisms and (c) attenuation characteristics. Knowledge of these are used to test hypotheses of lithospheric evolution and to simulate ground motions from large earthquakes.
