Terri Amborn and field assistants (Crimson Rosellas) using differential GPS to measure marine terrace elevations along the Waratah fault, Cape Liptrap, Victoria, Australia,    Keck Geology Consortium Undergraduate Research Program (June 2002)

Eli LaFromboise [L] and John Utick [R] with Dr. Marino Protti and Dr. Jeff Marshall at the Observatorio Volcanológico y Sismológico de Costa Rica, Universidad Nacional, Heredia (OVSICORI-UNA, March 2005).  Eli is holding a DEM image of the Costa Rican convergent plate margin.  John and Eli’s research projects are focused on the Nicoya Peninsula (center of image), an emergent segment of the Middle America fore arc subject to rapid coastal uplift and large subduction earthquakes (>M7.5).

Allison Ruotolo [L] and Rob Ellis [R] presenting results of their research on uplifted alluvial fan remnants along the range front faults of southern California’s San Gabriel Mountains, Council on Undergraduate Research (CUR) poster session, Geological Society of America Cordilleran Section Meeting, Anchorage, Alaska  (May 2006).
