Haijiang Zhang

Research Scientist of Geophysics

My research interests are mainly focused on applying the seismological methods to a broad range of problems: (1) studying the detailed structure of subduction zones using local and teleseismic earthquakes to place new and important constraints on unresolved problems such as the mechanisms causing the intermediate depth and deep earthquakes, mantle convection, and lithospherical evolution, (2) characterizing the detailed structure of fault zones and volcanoes for natural hazard assessment and mitigation, (3) improving exploration and development techniques for natural resources such as the oil and gas, (4) monitoring and studying induced seismicity caused by oil/gas production and geothermal resources development, and (5) improving seismic location and tomography methods for monitoring nuclear explosions.
