Application of fluid and solid mechanics, and of related thermal and materials physics, to problems of earth and environment, that including especially, in recent years, a focus on earthquake source physics, on flow and related melt-generation processes on the great ice sheets, and on hydrologic processes in the subsurface, including injection-induced seismicity. Earlier career studies included a strong focus on the deformation and rupture of metallic materials
