Research Professor
Dr. Stephen R. McNutt - Volcano Seismology
Dr. McNutt's primary research focus is in the field of volcano seismology. Current
research topics include studies of source and propagation effects for volcanic
tremor, low-frequency volcanic earthquakes, and explosion earthquakes at Spurr
and Arenal volcanoes; volcanic hazards assessments in Alaska and Central America;
the mechanical behaviour of volcanoes including periodicity of eruptions, and
the effects of earth tides, sea level variations, and tectonic stresses on eruptive
activity; volcanic lightning; and development of new air-deployable seismometers
for use in otherwise inaccessible areas.
