Earthquake geophysics professor at the University of Kansas. Mostly subduction zone and seafloor geodesy research with some photos from our family farm in rural NE Kansas.
For anyone interested in induced seismicity in the Kansas or the Midwest, please check out our new paper in Seismica led by former KU postdoc Shannon Fasola. We show evidence for far-field triggering of earthquakes in Kansas due to wastewater injection.

Evidence for Far-Field Wastewater Disposal Causing Recent Increases in Seismicity in Central and Northern Kansas
The rate of felt earthquakes in Kansas increased dramatically in 2014, where most seismicity initially occurred in southern Kansas, and was attributed to large-volume wastewater disposal (WD) near the...
