In August 2024, Dr. Brendan Crowell will be joining the School of Earth Sciences as an Assistant Professor within the Division of Geodetic Science. He received his Ph.D. from Scripps Institution of Oceanography at University of California, San Diego. Prior to coming to OSU, he spent a decade working for the Pacific Northwest Seismic Network (PNSN) at University of Washington, first as a Research Scientist and later as a Research Assistant Professor. During his time at the PNSN, he developed the G-FAST GNSS-based earthquake early warning system, which is part of the west-coast wide ShakeAlert system and has been deployed at the Tsunami Warning Centers and GNS Science in New Zealand. His current interests lie in using GNSS signals-of-opportunity to better understand natural disasters as they are unfolding, improving the precision of high-rate GNSS observations through machine learning for seismogeodetic studies, automated detection of transient deformation in continuous GNSS time series, coupling seismic and geodetic observations for tracking near-surface processes, and mitigation of risk from coastal hazards such as tsunamis. He is also leading one of the working groups for the Cascadia Region Earthquake Science Center (Crescent) that is tasked with building community products for geodetic deformation and seismicity in Cascadia. His group at OSU will also work on expanding real-time geodetic monitoring and algorithms for earthquake prone regions around the globe. Welcome, Professor Crowell!
