Research Interests
Jonathan uses earthquake waves to study the structure and dynamics of Earth’s mantle, analyzing waves from distant earthquakes recorded by seismometers across the globe. Jonathan’s work on deep Earth dynamics informs science questions such as how Earth has evolved over time to become a habitable planet, how material flows inside Earth, how this flow relates to surface processes such as plate tectonics, and how dynamic processes influence the Earth system as a whole. To explore these science questions, Jonathan will use massive global datasets during his time as Miller Fellow.
