He is currently researching topics in volcano seismology, both imaging and monitoring, using seismic noise and volcanic tremor as a USGS Mendenhall Postdoctoral fellow. He previously worked for two years as a postdoctoral appointee in the Geophysics Department at Sandia National Laboratories in Albuquerque, NM. He completed his Ph.D. in Geophysics (2005) and BSc. in Geophysical Engineering (1999) at the Colorado School of Mines in Golden, Colorado. In 2007, he received the J. Clarence Karcher Award from the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) for outstanding contributions by a young geophysicist. Matthew is a member of the SEG, the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers, the Seismological Society of America, and the American Geophysical Union.. New faculty member wins prestigious Young Scientist Award from the International Union of Radio Science: Hans-Peter Marshall H.P. received his B.S. in physics at University of Washington, where he minored in geophysics and worked with the glaciology group on mass balance studies on Blue Glacier in Olympic National Park and Taylor Glacier in E. Antarctica, as well as avalanche studies in the Cascades. He recieved his Ph.D. in Civil (Geotechnical) Engineering at University of Colorado at Boulder, where his research focused on snow remote sensing and snow slope stability, which included field campaigns in W. Antarctica, Devon Ice Cap, Switzerland, Alaska, and Colorado. He is currently the research chair for the American Avalanche Association, a research affiliate with the Institue of Arctic and Alpine Research, and a consultant for the U.S. Army Cold Regions Research and Engineering Laboratory.
