Analysis of geologic hazards in Colorado

Note to Applicants

Qualified students are encouraged to apply for research or teaching assistantships in my research group at the Department of Geological Sciences at the University of Colorado. Candidates with a strong quantitative background, good computer skills, prior field mapping experience and an interest in structural geology, geomorphology, paleoseismology, geophysics, remote sensing or planetary geology are especially encouraged to apply. Financial support can vary, but a typical package includes 9 to 12 months of living support, a tuition waiver, travel and field support.
