Understanding Three Dimensional Fault

System Evolution link

Bringing Deaf Students into Geoscience Research Table-top sandboxes provided for schools

to validate PI’s computer models of fault development.

Three in-class projects done by students to create, analyze, discuss and present scientific data to investigate active faults: Analog modeling of fault growth Locating faults using seismicity Characterizing subsurface faults from ground

movement Summer geology field trips for students Participation by students in the annual

meeting of the Southern California Earthquake Center
