Research interests are in solid-earth geophysics, with an emphasis upon global seismology and regional tectonics. Much of his research, including his current work, has been aimed at improving the theoretical foundations of seismic tomography. He is also a co-developer of a widely accepted mechanical and thermodynamical model of brittle, frictional mountain building a compressive plate boundaries.
