I am the Alaska Coordinator for the Earthquake Hazards Program of the USGS. I also study various aspects of the framework geology of Alaska, with a focus on neotectonics and tectonics. name: Peter J Haeussler, Ph.D. name_qualifier: null orcid: 0000-0002-1503-6247 organization_link: https://www.usgs.gov/centers/alaska-science-center organization_name: Alaska Science Center personal_statement: "I use various tools to understand earthquakes and earthquake\ \ hazards in Alaska. I\u2019ve studied the tectonic evolution of parts of Alaska,\ \ accretionary prisms along Alaska\u2019s margin, forearc and splay faulting,\ \ submarine landslides, mountain building and exhumation, landscape evolution,\ \ glacial histories, and sedimentary basins. I\u2019ve worked with marine and\ \ terrestrial seismic reflection and potential field data. Current work is focused\ \ on lacustrine paleoseismology, splay faulting, and various seismic hazards\ \ projects." professional_experience: - 1994 - Present Research Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey, Anchorage, AK - 1992 - 1994 Postdoctoral Researcher, U.S. Geological Survey, Anchorage, AK - 1992 Geologist, U.S. Geological Survey, Menlo Park, CA - 1986 - 1991 Research Assistant, University of California Santa Cruz - 1985 - 1988 Teaching Assistant, University of California Santa Cruz - 1985 Geologist, Lancer Energy Corporation, Wilmore, KY title: Research Geologist
