Rex Flake, out in the snow, where he's happiest. Rex wrote a nice thesis on transition zone fine structure with broadband west coast array data. He now works for PANGA as a scientific programmer.

Ana Aguiar came to us from Costa Rica.  In her Master's thesis she derived the first energy scale for  nonvolcanic tremor detected in the Cascadia subduction zone. We're now using this to quantify the seismic hazards from the Cascadia fault. She has now moved on to Stanford University.

Walter Szeliga came from Massachusetts and wrote a whole suite of analytical and modeling tools to filter and invert GPS data for slip. His thesis resulted in four published papers and he won the 2007 WAGS/UMI Distinguished Master's Thesis Award (National Award, Western US) and a $2000 prize. He is now in a PhD program in University of Colorado, Boulder. 

Jim Chapman comes from the southeast and is writing his thesis on using GPS to determine the lower limit of seismogenic coupling within the Cascadia subduction zone.
