Dr. Wagner's research has included fieldwork internationally in Chile, Argentina, Peru, and now Colombia, and in the U.S. in Oregon, Nevada, Idaho, Georgia, North Carolina, and Delaware. Collaboration is ongoing to deploy a network of seismometers in Western Africa.
Dr. Shirzei is an expert in satellite geodesy, inverse theory, signal processing, modeling techniques, and physics of crustal deformation. We are investigating how InSAR data can improve understanding of the underlying mechanism associated with seismic and aseismic faulting processes in West Africa - i.e, the evolution of crustal stresses and seismic hazard due to fluid extraction and disposal.
Dr. Kolawole is a structural geologist. Research intersection with our group involves the integration of structural geology, near-surface geophysics, and geomechanics to understand 1) how the earth’s lithosphere breaks up, and the dynamics of natural earthquakes in areas far away from active tectonic boundaries i.e. intraplate earthquakes.
