I am a geologist with the Seismology, Geom … I am a geologist with the Seismology, Geomorphology, and Geophysics group at Bureau of Reclamation. Our group performs seismic hazard evaluations for federal dams, which typically involves a fault study at each dam site. While traditionally we have focused our investigations on fault scarps, we are working on expanding our investigations to a wide range of landscape response to faulting. This development is significant because our research is limited by the location of the dam, and we often work with subtle tectonic expression at less than ideal sites. We would like to incorporate more computational modeling into our site analyses, which have traditionally been based on field work, imagery analysis, and trenching. We would also like to take advantage of the growing availability of lidar datasets, in addition to the lidar datasets funded by our agency, from an analytical perspective. We believe that becoming more familiar with current numerical modeling techniques will help us to better take advantage of accessible data as well as providing us with additional tools to apply in our seismic hazard assessments. My personal research background (I completed my MS in August 2017) is in the tectonic deformation of the Lake Bonneville shorelines by the Wasatch Fault Zone. The majority of my experience in numerical analysis is developing algorithms to take measurements from present day elevation data. One problem in my research was the uncertainty in measurement variability – which ultimately was a reflection of our uncertainty in landscape response to tectonics versus erosional processes. This issue becomes important to my work at BOR as we try to integrate some of the numerical tools I have developed in our fault investigations. As an aside - I live in Denver and will not need lodging or transportation costs covered. Thank you for your consideration.covered. Thank you for your consideration. +
