About

I am working on using data from the sea-floor SEA-SEIS seismic network in the North Atlantic to better understand the upper mantle and dynamics of the Iceland plume. My focus is on orienting the horizontal components of the seismometers, calculating receiver functions to elucidate the structure and temperature of the mantle transition zone, and examining shear-wave splitting to understand upper mantle deformation.
