Research Interests

Processes that deform the solid earth including those associated with the seismic cycle, migration of magma and water in the subsurface, tides, and glacial rebound; Tectonics and the relationship between short and long time scale processes; Glaciology, particularly basal mechanics and ice rheology; Ocean world tectonics and geodynamics, particularly Enceladus; Tools and applications using space geodesy, particularly GNSS, Interferometric SAR and gravity measurements.

Congratulations!

Dr. Yujie Zheng started as Assistant Professor at UT Dallas.
Dr. Théa Ragon started at CNRS in Grenoble, France.
