Earthquakes are among the most significant natural hazards facing society, globally and within Canada. My research aims to determine the controls on tectonic faults that cause earthquakes. I use ancient, fossilized faults as representatives of modern systems to identify the mechanisms governing fault rupture, creep and healing over centuries to millennia of the seismic cycle. My use of cutting edge field and analytical techniques, my skill in understanding the rock record of earthquakes, and my accomplishments in teaching and advising young scientists have established me as an international leader in the field of earthquake geology.

地震是全球社会面临的最严重的自然灾害之一 在加拿大境内。我的研究旨在确定构造断层的控制因素， 引起地震。我用古代的、抽象化的错误作为现代的代表， 系统，以确定管理故障破裂，蠕变和愈合的机制， 几百年到几千年的地震周期我对尖端领域的运用， 分析技术，我在理解地震岩石记录方面的技能， 我在教授和指导年轻科学家方面的成就使我成为 作为地震地质领域的国际领导者。
