Research

My research focuses on intermediate-depth earthquakes in the Bucaramanga nest beneath Colombia. Current projects involve the investigation of repeating and anti-repeating events with in the nest, including their temporal and magnitude variations.  My secondary research project is developing an improved attenuation model with Jesse Lawrence. We are in the process of incorporating teleseismic data into an existing local model of the subduction zone beneath Costa Rica and Nicaragua.
