Research:
Fluid flow
processes at
Subduction zones
My research combines field work,
laboratory work,
and numerical modeling to investigate the interrelationship of fluid
flow and
deformation in subduction zones. Much of the work has been with the Ocean Drilling Program (ODP) and the Integrated
Ocean
Drilling Program (IODP),
including drilling legs to investigate the
Oregon,
Barbados, Nankai, and Costa Rica subduction zones. Currently, I am
involved in work as part of NanTroSEIZE,
which is investigating the formation of earthquakes in the Nankai
subduction zone off of Japan. Recently, I was co-chief on IODP
Expedition 316, part of the initial stage of NanTroSEIZE drilling.
Conduit-Matrix
Interactions
in the unconfined portion of the upper Floridan Aquifer
With Dr. Jon Martin (UF
Geological Sci.) and students, I have been working at understanding the
interaction between
sinking
streams, springs, and the upper Floridan aquifer. At O’leno State Park,
the
Santa Fe
River enters a sinkhole, and re-emerges at the River Rise, ~ 5 km away.
