John H. Shaw joined Harvard Faculty in 1997 and leads an active research program investigating the structure of Earth’s crust. His program in Structural Geology and Tectonics emphasizes studies of active faults for earthquake hazards assessment, regional tectonics of mountain belts and plate margins, community fault velocity modeling, and subsurface energy development storage including carbon sequestration and environmental impacts associated with these activities. His efforts involve the use of modern geological and geophysical data, 3D seismic reflection surveys, multispectral remote sensing imagery, and advanced numerical modeling methods. Professor Shaw leads the Structural Geology and Earth Resources Program at Harvard, an industry-academic consortium that provides data, software, and support for research.
