Global Geodynamics and Seismology
Our group studies the structure and dynamics of the Earth, planets and stars using observational, computational and theoretical methods. Areas of research include:
- Core-mantle coupling (Dumberry)
- Lithosphere structure and mantle dynamics (Currie, Gu, Heimpel)
- Seismic velocity, reflectivity and anisotropy of the Earth's mantle (Gu)
- Zonal winds of gas and ice giants (Heimpel, Dumberry)
- Subduction zone dynamics and evolution (Currie)
- CRANE broadband seismic network (Gu)
- Magnetohydrodynamics of planetary fluid cores (Heimpel, Dumberry)
- Crustal stress and microseismicity (Gu, Currie)
- Libration dynamics of Mercury (Dumberry)
- Earthquake physics (Heimpel)
