Dr. Bobby Reece

Research Interests

My research interests include the study of plate boundaries and processes associated with climatetectonic interaction, continental margin deformation, and high-resolution studies of marine hazards. I utilize most types of marine geophysical data, but specialize in seismic reflection, bathymetry, highresolution techniques, and seismic-core integration. Current research projects include work in the Gulf of Alaska and synthesis with IODP.
