Current BSL Visitors:

Dr. Joshi Karra (Catherine) is visiting the BSL from the National Geophysical Research Institute, Hyderabad, India. During her stay, she will be collaborating with Roland Bürgmann on crustal deformation studies, analyzing post-seismic deformation following the 2004 Sumatra-Andaman earthquake and interpreting intra-continental GPS data to shed light on the earthquake occurrence process. She will be here from September through December.

Lei Ling is a Ph.D. candidate in the School of Electronic and Information Engineering (EIE) at Beihang University in China. She will be working with Roland Burgmann, analyzing and interpreting data from the new TerraSAR-X mission. She will be here for two years, until September 2010.
