Christopher Thissen, postdoctoral fellow at DTM, will give a talk titled "Flow paths and strain in a subduction wedge, Cascadia subduction zone, NW Washington State" at 11 a.m. on Thursday, 23 June 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
Thissen received his Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Yale University in 2016. His research interests include the link between fabric formation and seismic anisotropy, the development of preferred crystal orientations, natural deformation experiments, the tectonics and geodynamo of the Late Cretaceous, and the rheology of Earth materials over large spatial scales.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
