Geophysical Institute and on the scientific opportunities afforded
by the active tectonic environment of Alaska.</p>

dynamic group of two dozen faculty, postdocs, staff and students
dedicated to advancing the field of seismology. Our research
targets earthquakes, volcanoes, tsunamis, glaciers and tectonics
in Alaska and around the world. We track earthquake and volcanic
activity across Alaska in partnerships with federal and state
agencies. The Seismology Lab houses the Alaska Earthquake
Information Center and is a core component of the Alaska Volcano
Observatory. The tremendous rates of tectonic and volcanic
activity make Alaska an unparalleled laboratory for seismology. We
apply this real world experience to research projects with global
implications. Current emphasis on Alaska from the EarthScope and
GeoPRISMS programs make this a particularly exciting time.
Abundant seismoacoustic research opportunities also exist through
collaboration with the GI-based Wilson Infrasound Observatories.</p>
