About

Stephen is a Postdoctorate Researcher at the University of Southampton. His main interests are focussed on unravelling what happens when two titanic tectonic plates collide at a subduction zone. This plate boundary is vital to our lives. Subduction zones have given us life, but they have the power to take it away during damaging earthquakes and volcanic eruptions. Stephen's research is on megathrust earthquakes and mantle flow in response to subduction beneath South America. His PhD project tries to understand the factors that controlled the great 2010 Chile earthquake - the 6th largest quake ever recorded.
