Susan Schwartz, a professor at the University of California, Santa Cruz, will present a lecture titled "Anatomy of a Megathrust Plate Boundary Through the Earthquake Cycle" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, April 13, 2017, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
Schwartz received her Ph.D. from the University of Michigan. Her research addresses problems in earthquake seismology, Earth structure, active tectonics, and volcano seismology and geodesy. Her research interests include the mechanical behavior of the seismogenic zone at subduction margins, interrogation of the velocity structure of the crust and upper mantle lithosphere at or near plate boundaries, volcanic deformation and seismicity, and seismotectonics of the San Andreas fault system and Costa Rica.
Coffee, tea, and a light breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
