Subduction earthquakes; mechanics of oblique subduction, accretion and erosion of active margins; seafloor imaging, mapping, and visualization techniques; seafloor drilling technology. 

Meigs, Andrew                 E-mail
My work and that of my students is focused on tectonic geomorphology, earthquake geology, and active tectonics.  I was trained as a structural geologist and I focus on the interface between geomorphology, structural geology and geophysics as a means for understanding the structure of orogenic belts, the feedbacks between uplift, erosion, and topography, and for delineating short-term deformation rates and fault structure.
