Ben Brooks is a research geophysicist in the U.S. Geological Survey's Earthquake Science Center in Moffett Field, California. His research focuses on implementing and developing novel sensors to help better understand how, when, and why faults slip. He uses geodetic sensors (GNSS, laser scanning, and GNSS-Acoustic submarine techniques) to study the shallower/ near-field portions of subduction zones and strike-slip faults in the co-, inter- and post-seismic phases of the earthquake cycle. He also uses low-cost sensors (i.e. smartphones) in stand-alone and/or hybrid earthquake early warning networks.
Science and Products
External Grants - Overview
The U.S. Geological Survey (USGS) provides support for research that will assist in achieving the goals of the Earthquake Hazards Program. The goal is to mitigate earthquake losses that can occur in many parts of the nation by providing earth science data and assessments essential for land-use planning, engineering design, and emergency preparedness decisions.
