Current Graduate Students:
Julie Elliott (Ph.D. student, M.Sc. 2006) is studying deformation in the St. Elias Range of southern Alaska.
Yuning Fu (Ph.D. student) is studying InSAR, postseismic deformation, and hoping my proposal to study vertical motions in Tibet gets funded.
Ronni Grapenthin (Ph.D. student) is studying deformation due to seasonal and other load variations, and its impact on volcanoes and volcanic deformation.
Past Graduate Students:
Hilary Fletcher (Ph.D., 2001) studied the tectonics of southern Alaska using GPS. Hilary worked as a researcher at the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences, New Zealand, and now lives in Switzerland.
Dörte Mann (Ph.D., 2002) studied volcanic deformation in Alaska using SAR and GPS. Dörte was a Postdoctoral Researcher at Stanford University, and then worked for UNAVCO, Inc.
Qizhi Chen (Ph.D., 2002) studied the kinematics of the Tibetan Plateau using GPS. Chen is now working in the financial industry.
Chris Larsen (Ph.D., 2003) studied the uplift history of the Glacier Bay region using GPS, tide gauges, and raised shoreline data. Chris is now a Research Professor in Glaciology at UAF.
Sigrún Hreinsdóttir (Ph.D., 2006) studied the 2002 Denali fault earthquake, the 2001 El Salvador earthquake sequence, and the subduction zone in southern Alaska. Sigrún is now a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Arizona.
Samik Sil (M.Sc., 2006) studied water well level variations following the 2002 Denali fault earthquake. Samik is currently a Ph.D. student at the University of Texas-Austin.
Ryan Cross (M.Sc., 2007) studied the motion of the Bering plate, and models for forearc motion and along-strike variations in slip deficit along the Aleutian arc. Ryan now works for Tetra Tech, Inc.
Tom Fournier (Ph.D., 2008) studied the deformation of Okmok volcano in the eastern Aleutians. Tom is now a postdoctoral researcher at Cornell Univeristy.
