Geophysics is a field that integrates geology, mathematics, and physics in order to understand how the Earth works. Geophysicists study Earth processes through a combination of laboratory experiments, computational and theoretical modeling, remote imaging, and direct observation. Research in the Geophysics Department at Stanford has both fundamental and strategic elements. Our students benefit from this breadth of exposure and are highly sought after for rewarding careers in academia, industry, and government. Much, though not all, of the research we engage in can be grouped in three broad research themes: Energy, Environment, and Hazards. Among the research topics pursued by faculty and graduate students are: measuring crustal deformation using precision geodesy; high resolution imaging of the shallow crust using active source seismology; studies on the feasibility of carbon sequestration; earthquake source studies and hazard analysis; radar remote sensing of the Earth and other bodi...more
