Professor Melbourne's research is focused on modeling  seismic waveform and GPS deformation data. He heads the Pacific Northwest Geodetic Array, which uses continuous GPS to monitor crustal deformation throughout the Cascadia subduction zone, and in particular the slow earthquakes which frequently occur along the Cascadia plate interface fault.  He teaches seismology, geophysics, and introductory geology.  For detailed information on his research, courses, student research opportunities, field photos, department info and resources, scroll through the menu on the left.
