Research Projects:

Eruption of Kilauea volcano

Kilauea Deformation: I am studying the time dependent deformation of Hawaiian volcanoes using mostly GPS and some InSAR. The June 2007 intrusion of Kilauea was monitored in unprecedented detail by the continuous GPS network on Kilauea, as well as tiltmeters, and the ALOS and EnviSat radar satellites. 

Kilauea Volcanic Transient: We studied a volcanic transient following the 1997 intrusion at Napau Crater on Kilauea volcano (See Desmarais(2005) above) using the Kalman Filter based Extended Network Inversion Filter (ENIF) (McGuire et al., 2003) to incorporate data as well as a priori  information about the initial state of a system and the shape of the model.  The ENIF is also capable of making forward predictions, which we hope may help in predicting eruptions.

Mauna Loa Inflation Models: I am also working on some models of a summit inflation of Mauna Loa.

Kilauea Slow Earthquakes: In 2000 there was a slow earthquake on Kilauea volcano in which the south flank moved 6cm seaward.  It's magnitude was equivalent to a M5.7 occurring over 36 hours.  Since observing that event, we've recognized three more similar events (1998, 2000, 2003, 2005) that occur in the same location.  I am working on modeling the time evolution of these events, and their associated stressing history.
