Project: Imaging the shear velocity structure beneath the Sierra Nevada Mountains and the Bighorn Mountains with diffusive/ballistic surface wave measurements

Josh Stachnik will work with Anne Sheehan and Craig Jones to use diffusive and ballistic surface wave imaging on the Sierra Nevada Batholith region. His study will help create a high-resolution geologic picture of the region, which will also provide insights into how these mountains formed. Stachnik will also help analyze data collected from the Bighorn Mountain seismic project in northeastern Wyoming.

Sponsor: Anne Sheehan and Craig Jones
