Magnetotellurics (MT):
We are currently working on the NSF-sponsored Magnetotelluric Observations of Cascadia using a Huge Array (MOCHA) project. This is collaborative research with partners from Oregon State University (Egbert and Schultz), Scripp Oceanographic Institution (Key) and the U.S. Geological Survey (Bedrosian). Our goal is to map fluid distributions in the crust and below via 2-D and 3-D inversions of MOCHA data. From these we will develop knowledge about variations in the distal forearc 'locked zone' where very large earthquakes occur, the occurence and genesis of 'slow earthquakes' and episodic tremor and slip (ETS) events, and crustal deformation between large earthquakes.
Seismology:
Livelybrooks has been a member of the Cascadia Initiative Expedition Team leading the Cascadia Initiative, a 5-year community experiment involving collection of on-/off-shore seismic data and marine pressure data in Cascadai. Here is a reference for this work.
