Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Greg Hirth conducts research in earthquake and tectonic studies, integrating geological, geochemical, and geophysical analyses. His work encompasses high-pressure geophysics, material science, rock mechanics, and geotechnical engineering. He applies modeling techniques to understand complex geological phenomena. Recent studies have investigated the asthenospheric low-velocity zone, linking it to globally prevalent partial melting, and explored how fault network geometry influences earthquake frictional behavior. Hirth's research also examines the role of grain size evolution in the rheology of ice and the formation of listvenite during mass transfer in the mantle wedge.
