geophysics, including primarily seismology, and secondarily, near-surface geophysics (various
methods). The postdoctoral researcher will work on projects related to analyzing the upper 50-
100 m of the earth's surface and understanding stress conditions within the critical zone. Research
topics of interest include, but are not limited to, using active seismic and GPR data to map
subsurface structures along the Gulf Coast of Texas, monitoring ground water levels in west Texas,
and understanding pressure/stress in fractured bedrock. The researcher will also be encouraged
