Expertise: Global tsunamis, history of tsunamis generated by earthquakes and asteroid impact
Strengths in tectonics, seismology and surface processes at the ÂÒÂ×ÉçÇø allow sedimentary geologist Jody Bourgeois and her students to do critical work related to these areas. Recently, they have focused on paleo-tsunami deposits as a key to paleoseismicity, particularly in the Pacific Northwest and the Russian Far East. Her students and colleagues are also looking at a number of topics related to geological history of these regions.
