I specialize in investigating sub-surface features, both submarine and terrestrial, using a variety of geophysical instruments including seismic and multibeam bathymetry systems along with, gravimeters, magnetometers, downhole logging and ground penetrating radar. Recent projects include:

Ground penetrating radar investigation of the pyroclastic deposits from the 1815 eruption of Tambora, Indonesia. Portions of this 2004 expedition are included in the Discovery Channel documentary film entitled "Year without Summer" or " Pompeii of the East"
High-resolution seismic and sidescan sonar mapping of shallow water submarine faults and benthic habitats to help constrain both seismogenic and tsunamogenic potential and type and extent of benthic habitats of coastal Puerto Rico.

Tectonic, volcanic and sedimentary history of the Caribbean basin and western Pacific from multichannel seismic investigations and deep-sea scientific drilling.
