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

Nathan Bangs
Research Professor Nathan works on subduction zone structure and tectonics to understand subduction zone development and fault behavior. Subduction zones host the world’s largest and most destructive earthquakes and tsunamis. Understanding the structure and tectonics is critical for understanding the fault zone conditions within the subduction thrust that controls its mechanical behavior. Nathan uses 2D… Continue Reading Nathan Bangs
