Areas of Specialization

Research

Haiying Gao's current research is to construct a comprehensive (Vp and Vs), regional velocity model of the crust and upper mantle in the Cascades by applying a full-wave inversion program, and to address the scientific questions as subduction zone segmentation and role of water transport with Dr. Yang Shen.I am also interested in developing a joint inversion method by integrating full-wave tomography and receiver functions.
