Welcome to my webpage. Thanks for visiting, feel free to make yourself at home.
I am a senior at UCSB majoring in Geology with a concentration in Engineering and Hydrology.
This summer I have an internship with SCEC working at SDSU with Tom Rockwell.
My project title is "Reconstruction of Trench Logs as a Test for Interpreted Paleoseismic Events". The reconstruction of trench logs can be a valuable tool for testing the validity of an interpreted event horizon. By removing the deformation caused by an earthquake to its event horizon, one can see whether or not additional deformationis hidden in the trench sediments, indicating that more events may exist in the stratigraphy. This summer I will reconstruct trench logs from the Garlock fault, using Adobe Photoshop and Illustrator. I will retro-deform the logged statigraphy and demonstrate whether the deformation can be accounted using the event horizons that were identified in the field.
