GRADUATE RESEARCH ASSISTANT

Peter is studying for a doctoral degree in geophysics at the Jackson School of Geosciences. He is currently working on a project to predict pore pressure in subducting shallow sediments, and is interested in using electromagnetic techniques to measure pore fluid content.

INTERESTS

• Earthquake mechanics in subduction zones
• Pore pressure and fluid flow in subduction zones, focusing on the Eastern Aleutian subduction zone.
• Evolution of the mechanical behavior of sediments under load in the context of faulting.
