Focus is broadly defined as earthquake and volcano physics through predominantly field-based geodetic and seismic methods. Other research includes earthquake recurrence, seismic and volcanic hazards, and evaluation of subduction zone tsunamigenesis. While my focus is on fundamental research, most of my projects have direct ties to geologic hazards. Projects include: − Evaluation of timing and mechanisms for strain accumulation and release in continental environments. This research, initiated by my PhD research on slow-strain accumulation in the Eastern US, has spread to other environments where strain signals are more readily observable over career timescales. Projects include: − Evaluation of short vs. long-term strain accumulation along active faults. This research, funded by NSF-Tectonics, combines both cosmogenic dating and GPS to constrain the apparent differences between 100,000 year and modern strain rates along the central Walker Lane in Western Nevada (co-PI K. Frankel—deceased). This research is the focus of a current PhD students thesis, and the first results are expected to be submitted shortly. − Characterization of fore-arc deformation and hazards along a convergent boundary. This research, a component of an NSF-CAREER grant, uses surface morphology, earthquake histories, and modern GPS to constrain the onset of tectonic sliver transport along the Middle America Trench. This research has culminated in a recently submitted manuscript (see Feng et al., 2012b submitted). − Evaluation of immature fault behavior in continental environments. At present, no funds are used for this research, but long-term planning to continue assessing the very low strain rates in the Eastern US is ongoing (will likely require a low-level career-long approach). Likewise, as

opportunities arise from earthquakes, I evaluate what it means for fault development. One such example is a recent paper on the very high stress-drop transform along a previously unmapped transform in the Eastern Peloponnese, Greece (see Feng et al., 2010 in references). − Characterizing locking and failure of the subduction megathrust and its controls on tsunami generation. This research has a number of branches focusing on different aspects of site-specific and global earthquake activity. Projects include: − Examination of plate coupling and shallow subduction processes across the Middle America Trench of Costa Rica. This research is the main focus of my NSF-CAREER project, and uses a combination of local earthquake seismology and both campaign and continuous GPS to image the current state of locking along a section of the megathrust plate interface in Costa Rica that is rather uniquely approachable with land-based techniques. The main results are a major component of a recent PhD project and have recently been submitted for publication (see Feng et al., 2012b submitted). − Understanding end-member subduction zone seismogenesis in the Solomon Islands, Japan, and Sumatra. In the last few years, a number of extraordinary earthquakes have challenged our understanding of earthquake behavior. I am focusing new energy here as necessary, particularly in imaging and understanding the development of substantial earthquake slip in the shallow subduction environment. Of particular interest is my work in the Solomon Islands, partially funded by an NSF-RAPIDS proposal. Many tsunamigenic earthquakes have occurred here in the past century. As well, land exists almost at the trench, allowing for unmatched fidelity in megathrust measurements with land-based geophysical tools. Using observations of coral uplift and coastal subsidence, I’ve recently published two papers on the extreme behavior and its tsunamigenesis in the shallow environment (Chen et al., 2009; Newman et al., 2011). In Sumatra and Japan, I’ve been similarly working to evaluate the role of the shallow subduction environment on tsunamigenesis, as it pertains to giant earthquakes as well as other smaller tsunami earthquakes (Newman et al., 2011). The Tohoku-oki event in Japan has also peaked my interest in trying to remedy a fundamental gap in our modern geodetic measurements—the ocean floor! As such, I wrote a sort of “call to arms” in Nature to my colleagues and funding agencies (Newman, 2011). I hope to spend considerable effort in the near future to actively exploring and developing tools for more robust, low-cost and spatially dense seafloor geodetic measurements. − Development of real-time approximations of earthquake energy release for use in the identification of tsunami hazard from large slow-source earthquakes. This research, primarily funded by USGS-NEHRP, aims to develop tools to rapidly evaluate and identify both extreme earthquake sizes or slow-slip, the later a characteristic of most “tsunami earthquakes”. This project is near completion, with papers now published on the global determinations over the past 13 years (Convers and Newman, 2011), and with a successful proof of concept paper that warned of the slow-nature of the 2010 Mentawai earthquake only a few minutes after its rupture (Newman et al., 2011). We plan to incorporate these tools within the USGS-NEIC. The codes are currently operational at the Pacific Tsunami Warning Center in Honolulu. − Understanding ground deformation associated with magma pressures within primarily silicic caldera systems. This research is aimed at illuminating the source and path physics responsible for unrest in active systems. Projects include: − Illuminating and modeling episodic time-dependent inflation of Calderas. My interests have been to evaluate a number of caldera systems in order to characterize both the broad similarities, as well as the intrinsic difference. At Long Valley Caldera in California, with funding through UC-IGGP, I’ve characterized the rheologic controls and significance of regional earthquakes on deformation over a number of inflationary events over the past 30+ years (Newman et al., 2001, Newman et al., 2006, Feng and Newman, 2009). To compare and contrast, I’ve begun studies at

other similar caldera systems, one the Valles Caldera in New Mexico, is of similar age, but differs in that it has a massive resurgent dome that grew within only 20k years after the blowout. At Taal Volcano in the Philippines, we’ve tried to evaluate the nature of a more water-rich magmatic chamber (Galgana et al., 2011 submitted). In Santorini Caldera, with funding from NSF-RAPIDS and Georgia Tech, we are exploring the early evolution of a caldera that had its last major blow-out eruption only 3600 years ago. This system, after remaining quiet for about the past 60 years, has recently reawakened with rapid uplift (10+cm) beginning in January 2011 (Newman et al., 2012 submitted). While we are actively monitoring the system for risk assessments, the real fun will be in working with understanding the nature of the exponential growth over the next several years. − Innovative imaging of ongoing flank collapse at Arenal Volcano, Costa Rica. This research, is the subject of a proposal in revision for NSF-Geophysics, and is aimed at using new tools for imaging rapid failure of the western flank of Arenal volcano (moving at 10+ cm/yr). In collaboration with colleagues at the University of South Florida, we are looking to deploy GPS, a Terrestrial Laser Scanner (TLS), and ground-based radar in an attempt to image the 3D movements of the ongoing collapse with unprecedented accuracy. My focus here is on the use of TLS in conjunction with GPS to create innovative software to track correlated regions of similar shape in order to create a first-of-its kind 3D vector field at the 1-10 meter-level.

A study to illuminate regions of locking along the megathrust region off Nicaragua and Costa Rica by examining the relationship between observed locking, past large earthquakes, current microseismicity, and variations along the subduction interface. NSF-Tectonophysics $316k (2010-2013) for “Strain Accommodation in the Walker Lane: Understanding the Evolution of a Diffuse Plate Boundary with Geochronology and Geodesy”. The project will support one PhD student and 2-weeks of my summer salary for the duration. COPI: K. Frankel GT-EAS. NSF/IRIS $25k (2012-13) for “Earthquake Rupture Energy and Duration Tools as IRIS data products” offers support for the implementation of some earthquake energy codes into a community-wide consortium website. NSF-Geophysics $38k (2011-12) for “RAPID: Capturing Ongoing Volcanic Inflation at Santorini Caldera, Greece” offers support for the rapid campaign GPS survey and further development of the continuous GPS network at Santorini Greece. After a long period of approximately 50 years of relative seismic quiescence within the caldera and years of measuring essentially zero deformation, the volcano has recently reawakened with an exponentially increasing inflation signal. This signal is essential for understanding the rheologic controls, and will not be sufficiently constrained with the limited continuous data that we currently have. Data obtained through this experiment will be useful for evaluating the ongoing deformation at the Caldera, and in turn, be use for identifying the geometry and precise location of the pressure source. The evolving temporal signature is necessary for identifying how the system develops. The information is invaluable for improving our understanding of eruption dynamics, and is some of the first such information for a very young caldera system.
