Their research involves installing seismometers to image the Earth’s structure, using GPS to monitor crustal motion, and conducting computer simulations in order to understand how earthquakes occur. 3 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:48:39 GMT http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/liu/ipod/Liu06.m4v Education http://syndicatemizzou.org/resources/liu/ipod/Liu06.m4v As if Liu’s “plate” isn’t full enough, he also has his hand in a research project called GEON (Geoscience Network) supported by the National Science Foundation. This initiative involves a dozen institutions along with the San Diego Supercomputer Center. The goal is to create a prototype of geosciences cyberinfrastructure, so “that any scientist can have any kind of data at his or her fingertips.” 3 Tue, 02 Oct 2007 19:50:44 GMT
