Every year UTIG takes time to recognize our staff and students at a luncheon. There we celebrate all that we accomplished this year, share stories and photos of our field work, and recognize outstanding staff. This year we honored the following people for their time at UTIG and their outstanding research. Staff Service Awards: Dan… Continue Reading End of the Year Celebration

SHIRE Expedition Updates
Our team of researchers working on SHIRE (Seismogenesis at Hikurangi Integrated Research Experiment) have begun their expedition offshore of New Zealand. They are investigating the feedbacks between plate interface slip behavior, solid and fluid mass fluxes, and manifestations of plate boundary mechanics in the long-term geological record that likely reflect common driving processes linking forearc… Continue Reading SHIRE Expedition Updates
Kelly Olsen
GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT Kelly is studying the Chile subduction zone using 2D seismic reflection data collected on the 2017 Crustal Examination from Valdivia to Illapel to Characterize Huge Earthquakes (CEVICHE) cruise. She is particularly interested in the upper plate structure and faulting along the margin and the subduction of trench sediments, which has implications for understanding… Continue Reading Kelly Olsen
Costa Rica 3D Seismic Imaging Project
The University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) Costa Rica 3D seismic imaging project is examining the progressive changes in structural and physical properties along the earthquake prone subduction zone off southern Costa Rica using 3D seismic imaging. The team is targeting a zone where the plate boundary undergoes a transition from stable sliding near the trench to… Continue Reading Costa Rica 3D Seismic Imaging Project
