M. Richardson
Professor Solid-Earth Geophysics

I have recently returned to research and teaching after serving
in several capacities in the Office of Undergraduate Education at the
University of Arizona, including Vice-President, for five
years. In the future, I intend to focus more on undergraduate education.
My current activities include curricular reform at the university level
and service at the national level through, for example, Project Kaleidoscope,
and I recently served one term on the Education and Human Resources
committee of the American Geophysical Union. In the past five
years, I have been a P.I. or co-P.I. on three NSF-funded science education
grants, including P.I. on the University of Arizona’s Recognition
Award for the Integration of Research and Education (RAIRE).
My research focus is
Tectonic geophysics. The driving forces for plate tectonics. Intraplate
stresses. Strain accumulation and release at plate boundaries. Finite
element and inverse modeling. Earthquake hazard and seismic gap analysis.
Geoscience Education.
