Recent interests include earthquake swarms (and associated fluid-faulting interactions) and tectonic tremor. To gain insight into these processes, I have worked to develop new techniques for earthquake detection, source location, and focal mechanism dete name: David Shelly name_qualifier: null orcid: 0000-0003-2783-5158 organization_link: https://www.usgs.gov/programs/earthquake-hazards organization_name: Earthquake Hazards Program personal_statement: "I earned my Ph.D. from Stanford University in 2007, focused\ \ on understanding the mechanism of \"non-volcanic tremor\" in the Nankai subudction\ \ zone. After finishing my Ph.D., I was a Miller Postdoctoral Fellow at UC\ \ Berkeley and a Mendenhall Postdoctoral Fellow in the USGS Earthquake Science\ \ Center. From 2010-2018 I was a Research Geophysicist with the USGS Volcano\ \ Science Center (California and Yellowstone Volcano Observatories) in Menlo\ \ Park, California. I am now a member of the Geologic Hazards Science Center\ \ in Golden, Colorado.I'm working maximize the information we can obtain from\ \ seismic records of faulting processes. This information is then combined\ \ with other available constraints (e.g. geodetic, geologic, geochemical) to\ \ understand what these seismic signals can tell us about physical (tectonic,\ \ hydrothermal, and/or magmatic) processes in the subsurface.Other Recognitions2015\ \ - Editor\u2019s Citation forExcellence in Refereeing, Geophysical Research\ \ Letters2014 -Kavli Fellow, National Academy of Sciences2010 - Editor\u2019\ s Citation forExcellence in Refereeing, Geophysical Research LettersPublicationsHill,\ \ D.P., E.
