DARA E. GOLDBERG
Studying big earthquakes with seismic and geodetic tools

RESEARCH INTERESTS
I am a seismologist/geodesist interested in large earthquake dynamics, earthquake and tsunami early warning, and earthquake source processes. I received my PhD from the Scripps Institution of Oceanography, UC San Diego and was a postdoctoral researcher at the University of Oregon. I am currently a Mendenhall postdoctoral fellow at the National Earthquake Information Center at the United States Geological Survey.
