Biography

Jonathan Delph is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth, Atmospheric, and Planetary Sciences at Purdue University. He obtained his Ph.D. in Geosciences from the University of Arizona in 2016 and his B.S. in Earth Space Exploration from Arizona State University in 2012. His research primarily focuses on creating high-resolution images of crustal and uppermost mantle structure, particularly in areas with significant seismic variation. Dr. Delph has developed innovative techniques for seismic imaging, including new approaches to creating 3D shear-wave velocity models that enhance the lateral resolution of geologic structures. He is particularly interested in applying seismic interferometry techniques to understand how tectonic events influence spatial and temporal variations in seismic properties within the crust. His research has led to multiple publications in esteemed journals, contributing valuable insights into tectonic activity and seismic characteristics across various regions.
