Dynamics of the solid Earth, focusing on two areas: understanding how convection in the Earth's mantle operates and drives geologic processes, and understanding the forces causing earthquakes. Current projects include: computer modeling of the thermal and chemical evolution of the Earth; using chaos theory to study how convection stirs the mantle; modeling the dynamics of the Earth's core-mantle boundary; modeling and observing pre- and post-seismic deformation in the crust.
