Research interests:

1.     Localizing interseismic deformation around locked strike-slip faults using far-field loading:

Localization of interseismic deformation around locked strike-slip faults is widely observed. The fault-parallel velocity is usually modelled by imposing full-rate creep directly below the locking depth. My project focuses on how localization may occur under far-field tectonic loading without this imposed creep.

2.     The postseismic deformation of the 2012 Haida Gwaii earthquake.
