RESEARCH PROFESSOR Laura uses geodetic methods to investigate deformation of the Earth’s crust at plate boundaries. She conducts research at various locations, including New Zealand, Papua New Guinea, Solomon Islands, and Japan. In 2002, Laura was the first to record slow slip events in New Zealand’s Hikurangi Margin subduction zone. Investigating slow slip events at… Continue Reading Laura M. Wallace

Marine Geosciences, Seismology and Tectonics
Marine Geosciences Each year University of Texas Institute for Geophysics (UTIG) researchers and students undertake several major seagoing campaigns. In the spring, UTIG researchers conduct an MG&G field course to train students. The campaigns and field course employ a variety of geophysical techniques, including 2D and 3D seismic reflection imaging, seismic refraction acquisition, chirp profiling, multibeam bathymetric… Continue Reading Marine Geosciences, Seismology and Tectonics
