Stephen Malone is a Research Professor Emeritus at the University of Washington, known for his extensive involvement in research related to seismic networks and earthquake hazards. After retiring in 2007, he continued to contribute to the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network, emphasizing the importance of network operations in seismic research. His research interests encompass network seismology, earthquake hazards, and Episodic Tremor Slip (ETS), as well as the study of volcanic seismology. Malone is particularly focused on the technological aspects of operating modern seismograph networks. His work includes the development of the ShakeAlert system, which provides near real-time event processing to alert staff about significant earthquakes and also informs the public about equipment failures. Additionally, he conducts studies on earthquake-related volcanic processes and activities, examining how volcanic activities interact with seismic events, including ground shaking caused by glacier motion, rockfalls, and debris flows.
