<div class="MsoNormal"><b> <o:p></o:p></b></div>
<div class="MsoNormal">We seek a postdoctoral fellow to engage in studies that will
develop insights and strategies for the next generation of earthquake
monitoring. The research conducted in this project would test the hypothesis
that geodetic and seismic data are complementary and can be used simultaneously
for more robust monitoring than traditional seismically-based monitoring, not
only of earthquakes but also for other deformation transients that provide
clues about the accumulation and release of tectonic stresses. Research will
focus on the Cascadia subduction zone in the Pacific Northwest, where both
state-of-the-art seismic and geodetic networks operate, the discovery of
episodic tremor and slow slip has led to the recognition that significant
fractions of stored up strain energy are released aseismically, and the
consequences of a major earthquake necessitates research to improve our
understanding of and ability to monitor and respond to such events. <span style="mso-spacerun: yes"> </span>The Fellow will be encouraged to explore
analog studies and to demonstrate the transferability of strategies and results
from the Cascadia to other regions and monitoring circumstances. <o:p></o:p></div>

<div class="MsoNormal">Scientists and staff of the USGS and the Dept. of Earth and
Space Sciences at the University of Washington in Seattle works closely
together. The Fellow also would be encouraged to work with geodesist Research
Advisors Murray-Moraleda and Langbein at the USGS in Menlo Park, CA and Melbourne
at Central Washington University in Ellensburg, WA.<span style="color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></div>
