From 1976 to 1973 I was a teaching assistant and research assistant at the University of Minnesota.
I taught undergraduate laboratories in physical geology, historical geology, and oceanography courses.
My activity as a research assistant was in the development and use of a progra:n to ;imulate uarine magnetic ancmalies.
My inttrests in graduate school included all areas of geophysics, structural geology, and marine geology. My field experiences included a geophysical cruise to the South Pacific to gather detailed geophysical data on the midoceanic ridge system.
My dissertation was a study of seismic phases reflecting off structures below the Earth's crust under several geographic regions.
From 1973 to 1977 I was employe by Teledyne Geotech in Alexandria, d
Virginia as a research geophysicist.
At this corporation's research laboratory I worked on a variety of research probicas in seismology related to the detecticn of nuclear explosions, including (1) the use of filters to extract signals frcn seismograms, (2) the propagation of Rayleigh waves through heterogeneities, and (3) the characteristics of earthquakes in areas of proposed underground nuclear testing in Asia.
I an a member of the American Geophysical Union and the Seismological Society of Anerica.
I have authored or co-authored ten papers published as Teledyne Geotech reports or in the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of /cerica.
I have authored or co-authored two papers presented at meetings of the Seismological Society of America.
