• December 2011. My colleagues and I have been funded for a 2D seismic cruise on the Cascadia margin in summer 2012. This will be an open-access, open-participation project (a model I hope will become more common in the future). We're looking for student and early-career scientists to participate! Read about the project here.

• December 2011. Former undergrad Dan Eakin, Ilker Fer and I published a paper in GRL showing the first seismic images of oceanic lee waves.
---------------------
• July 2011. I've been named a GeoPRISMS Distinguished Lecturer for 2012. I'll be giving talks on the composition of arcs and the "subduction zone sponge."
---------------------
• April 2011. Grad student Jorden Hayes won an Outstanding Student Paper award from the Tectonophysics section at the American Geophysical Union Meeting in San Francisco (Dec. 2010). Hooray!
---------------------
• December 2010. I'm seeking a new postdoc, to work on seismic oceanography and other topics. You can see the ad here.

• 9 November 2009: We've received funding from the Office of Naval Research: $472,262 to continue our work on seismic oceanography. The official title of the grant is "“Seismic Oceanography: Non-linear internal waves in the South China Sea and Three-Dimensional Maps of Ocean Temperature and Turbulence.” Prof. Subhashis Mallick is a co-PI on the grant.
