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 * 和加拿大境内社会面临的最严重的自然灾害之一。我的研究目的是确定对引起地震的构造断层的控制。我用古老的、化石化的断层作为现代系统的代表，以确定在地震周期的几个世纪到几千年中，控制断层破裂、蠕动和愈合的机制。我对前沿领域和分析技术的运用，我对地震岩石记录的理解能力，以及我在教授和指导年轻科学家方面的成就，使我成为地震地质学领域的国际领导者。
