Other EAS Research Areas • Atmospheric Chemistry, Aerosols & Clouds • Paleoclimate • Planetary Science • Geochemistry • Dynamics of Weather and Climate • Oceanography and Climate • Remote Sensing • Faculty & Research Interests • Dr. Joe Dufek • Melting and magma dynamics in the crust and mantle and the geochemical consequences of these processes • Dynamics of explosive volcanic eruptions and the dynamics of particle laden gravity currents • Microphysical process in multiphase flows • Planetary Processes • Dr. Christian Huber • Melt production, extraction and transport through the crust. • Bubble dynamics and its effect on rheology, heat and mass transport in magmas. • Porous media flows (single and multiphase), heat and chemical transport in groundwater flows. • Diffusion timescales in crystals. •  Dr. Andrew Newman • Active deformation and failure of the Earth's lithosphere • Seismic, volcanic, and tsunami hazards • Seismology (fault structure and tsunami warning) • Geodesy (mostly GPS and InSAR) •  Dr. Carol Paty • Computer simulations of planetary magnetospheres • Coupled interactions of Jupiter's magnetosphere with that of the icy moon Ganymede • Ion-neutral interactions between Enceladus' cryovolcanic plume and Saturn's magnetosphere • Mars' atmospheric evolution. •  Dr. Zhigang Peng • High resolution imaging of fault zone structures • Earthquake triggering • Earthquake source properties • Slow earthquakes and non-volcanic tremor • Dr. James Wray • Planetary surface processes • Climate history and aqueous environments on Mars • Oceans in the outer solar system (e.g., Europa) • Spacecraft remote sensing Overview Research in geophysics at Georgia Tech covers studies from the inner core of the earth through planetary sciences. Our research includes theoretical analyses, numerical modeling, observational studies, and laboratory experiments. The research addresses issues of fundamental understanding of the dynamics of the solid earth system, and associated hazards from earthquakes, volcanism, and tsunamis. Geophysics research is inherently interdisciplinary and is conducted in collaboration with civil and environmental engineering, physics, geochemistry, geology, and microbiology. In recent years, external funding for the pure and applied research being conducted within the geophysics group has been provided by the National Science Foundation Earth Science and Ocean Science Divisions, the U.S. Dept. of Energy, USGS, NASA, NOAA, the Ocean Drilling Program, the Petroleum Research Fund, and state agencies.
