Hi! I’m a research scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada and adjunct professor at the University of British Columbia and the University of Victoria. I study #earthquakes and focus mostly on #SeismicRisk and #ActiveTectonics. I’m interested in #Paleoseismology #Neotectonics #Seismology #Geodesy and #SeismicHazard.
I’m also chair of the #AGU Hazards Equity Working Group, a Fast Reports editor at @weareseismica and a Building Equity & Capacity committee member for #SZ4D.
