Positioning Systems (GPS), passive source seismology to understand Earthquake
sources and structure, seismic anisotropy and lithospheric structure and composition as
modulated by tectonic processes, and acquiring, processing, and interpretation of active
or passive waveform data.

Professor Search Committee (gpsgrad at pitt.edu <mailto:gpsgrad at pitt.edu>): 1) a CV (including past and current
grant support), 2) statements of teaching and research interests, 3) copies of 3 relevant
publications, and 4) names and contact information of four references. A Ph.D. is
