Seismic Imaging at UH Mānoa

Our research uses seismic imaging to learn about the structure of the Earth’s interior, particularly at subduction zones and volcanoes. We use terrestrial and marine instrumentation to understand the relationships between structure and earthquake behavior at subduction zones, and to characterize magma transport beneath volcanoes. We study the Cascadia, Alaska-Aleutians, and Vanuatu subduction zones, as well as Hawaiian volcanism.
