Professor Paul Tapponnier is one of the foremost scientists of his generation in neotectonics. His discovery of active faults in and around Tibet that are accommodating the collision of India into Asia revolutionized the scientific understanding of Asia’s tectonics. His research provided a consistent model of large-scale crustal deformation processes between the Himalayas and Baykal, … Continued
Dr. Hélène Carton is a geophysicist specialized in marine seismic imaging. Her research interests include magmatic processes at the fast-spreading East Pacific Rise, the structure and evolution of oceanic lithosphere, and active deformation at the Sumatra subduction zone and within the neighboring Wharton Basin. Hélène is currently an Assistant Professor at the Institut de Physique … Continued
Wisnu Arya Gemilang’s main interest is in delivering geological insight into coastal community development to decrease their vulnerability to natural hazards such as tsunamis.
Professor Satish Singh was born in Varanasi, India and completed his education at the Banaras Hindu University, Varanasi, India and University of Toronto, Canada. After spending two years at the Institut de Physique du Globe de Paris, he joined the University of Cambridge in 1990, where he led the development of a strong theoretical seismology … Continued
Kerry Sieh studies the geological record to understand the geometries of active faults, the earthquakes they generate, and the crustal deformation their movements produce. His early work studying geological layers and landforms along the San Andreas fault led to the discovery of how often and how regularly it produces large earthquakes in southern California. A … Continued
Julianna Diehl is currently attending Maine Maritime Academy, working towards a bachelor of science in marine science and an associate in small vessel operations. She hopes to soon begin a career working on research vessels, researching oceanography and marine geology. Julianna has recently worked as a marine technician intern aboard the R/V Pelican in the … Continued
Albert J. Noh is a physical oceanographer who study about turbulent mixing and internal waves in the ocean. He has been researching a mechanism of turbulent mixing in the equatorial Pacific, using CTD, LADCP, and Micro-structure profiler data. He has some experiences at international joint cruise; MIXET cruise, Korea-Russia joint cruise. He likes doing exercise; … Continued
Saulo Soares is a Post-Doctoral Fellow at the University of Hawaii at Manoa’s International Pacific Research Center. Saulo recently earned his PhD in Oceanography from the Department of Oceanography of the University of Hawaii . He also has a B. Sc. in Oceanology from the University of Rio Grande (2005) and in 2007 Saulo earned … Continued
Glenn is an associate professor in the Department of Oceanography at UH Manoa. Originally from New Zealand, he obtained his PhD from the University of Washington in Seattle, before moving to Hawaii for a post-doctoral position, and was fortunate to get a faculty position before having to leave the Hawaiian Islands. He is a physical … Continued
Dr. Eric Firing is an oceanographer interested in the structure and dynamics of ocean currents and flow on all scales, from the global circulation down through waves and turbulence to mixing. He works primarily with current profiling instrumentation. The complex system of zonal currents below the thermocline at low latitudes has been a central interest, … Continued
