Christine J. Ruhl, PhD

Bio
Using observational geophysics to investigate large and small earthquakes worldwide, Dr. Christine J. Ruhl answers outstanding questions about one of the Earth's most devastating phenomenon. Areas of particular interest include microseismicity, seismic sequences, and seismotectonics; fault growth and mechanics; earthquake source physics; ground motion; and real-time hazard monitoring and response.
