I focus on understanding the mechanics of earthquakes. This involves a combination of lab experiments on the frictional behavior of rock and computer modeling of earthquakes that employs the constitutive relations that arise from the lab experiments. Computer modeling is used to determine if there are any signals that might be used for short - or intermediate - term earthquake prediction. We are trying to understand the processes responsible for the observed frictional behavior.

I received my BA from Carleton College in 1964, then went on to get both my MS (1967) and PhD (1971) from UCLA. I came to Brown University in 1970 and was promoted to full Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences in 1989. Though officially retired as of 2005, I am still extremely active within the department.
