CRUSTAL DEFORMATION

Measurements of the movement of the earth's crust provide data on the amount and temporal distribution of deformation that takes place, preceding, during and after the occurrences of earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. These data can be extracted from global positioning satellite, radar interferometry and repeated gravity observations. Research in these areas is being conducted under the aegis of the research groups Crustal Deformation and Fault Mechanics and Radar Interferometry and the faculty members Paul Segall and Howard Zebker.
