Teaching:
- Probabilities
and
Seismic
Hazard Analysis - Spring 2010 and 2012
Research Goals:
My goal is to contribute to the improvement of our
understanding of seismic hazard and loss in the central U.S., the
nation, and the world, and to credibly communicate this understanding
to earth science professionals, engineers, emergency response planners,
private industry, and the general public.

- Probabilistic and Scenario Seismic Hazard and Risk Analysis
- Earthquake Strong Ground Motion and Site Effects
- Uncertainty in Hazard and Loss Estimates
- Seismology, including Downhole Seismology
