Bio/Research
Diego Melgar is an academic expert in earthquakes, tsunamis, seismology, early warning systems, strong ground motion and geodetic imaging. At the University of Oregon, he is an assistant professor of earth sciences. Diego’s research focuses on the physics of large earthquakes and the hazards that they generate. He is especially interested in the rupture processes at faults and in how these generate tsunamis and strong shaking. He specializes in using diverse data sets including land-based, ocean-based, and space-based techniques to study major events around the globe. He also applies the basic science insights from these studies towards building the next generation of earthquake and tsunami early warning systems.
