OverviewAI-generated summary

Dr. Donald W. Forsyth conducts earthquake and tectonic studies at John Brown University, employing geological, geochemical, and geophysical methods. His research focuses on seismic waves, seismic imaging, and inversion techniques to understand the Earth's structure and dynamics. Forsyth's work has contributed to understanding the complexities of the Earth's mantle. Recent investigations include seismic imaging of sub-lithospheric convection beneath the Pacific Plate, analysis of the Pacific ORCA experiment, and the origin of the Hawaiian Swell using Rayleigh wave dispersion. He has also studied mid-lithospheric discontinuities beneath the Western Pacific seafloor and small-scale heterogeneity in the upper mantle beneath old oceanic lithosphere.
