John H. Shaw joined the Harvard Faculty in 1997 and leads an active research program investigating structure of the Earth’s crust. Prof. Shaw’s program in Structural Geology & Tectonics emphasizes: 1) studies of active faults for earthquake hazards assessment; 2) regional tectonics of mountain belts and other plate margins; 3) community fault and velocity modeling; and 4) subsurface energy development and storage, carbon sequestration, and environmental impacts associated with these activities. These efforts involve the use of modern geologic and geophysical data, including 3D seismic reflection surveys and multispectral remote sensing imagery, and advanced numerical modeling methods. Prof. Shaw leads the Structural Geology & Earth Resources Program at Harvard, an industry-academic consortium that provides data, software, and support for research.
