What thesis topics have MS students of structural geology worked on?
Additional information about each of the following research projects can be obtained via http://bearspace.baylor.edu/Vince_Cronin/www/GradStudents.html • Daniel Lancaster arrives at Baylor in the Fall of 2009, and has not committed to a thesis topic yet. We have talked about the possibility of using the Seismo-Lineament Analysis Method (SLAM) in an attempt to locate the surface trace of the fault responsible for the M6 earthquake near Wells, Nevada, that occurred in February of 2008. SLAM is described in the following article: Cronin, V.S., Millard, M., Seidman, L, and Bayliss, B., 2008, The Seismo-Lineament Analysis Method (SLAM) — A Reconnaissance Tool to Help Find Seismogenic Faults: Environmental and Engineering Geology, v. 14, no. 3, p. 199-219. • Ryan Lindsay’s thesis research, currently titled “Active-fault reconnaissance, Tahoe area, California and Nevada,” is just getting underway. Ryan plans to use earthquake data, SLAM, and records from geodetic GPS stations from the EarthS
