PERSONNEL

The Global Seismology and Tectonics Group at the University of Arizona consists of two faculty members, Susan Beck and George Zandt, and an associated research group that normally consists of one postdoctoral researcher, 6-8 graduate students, and an undergraduate student. The GSAT postdoctoral position was held by Hersh Gilbert from 2003-06 (now on the faculty at Purdue University), and by Linda Warren, since 2007. We currently have 7 graduate students (Berk Biryol, Josh Calkins, Andy Frassetto, Christine Gans, Lepolt Linkimer, Ryan Porter, and Hande Tok), four affiliated graduate students (Austin Holland, James Girardi, Sarah Thompson, and Soledad Velasco). Recent graduates of the program include Patricia Alvarado (faculty member at the National University in San Juan, Argentina), Megan Anderson (faculty member at Colorado College in Colorado Springs), Lara Wagner (postdoctoral fellow at the Carnegie Institution in Washington, D.C.), Koichi Sakaguchi (now in the graduate program in the Atmospheric Sciences Department at the University of Arizona), and Owen Hurd (now in the graduate program of the Department of Geophysics at Standford University).
