Birth of my second daughter!

C.B. has been selected as a 2016 IRIS/SSA Distinguished Lecturer!
Zheng Xing passed his qualifying exam and is now a PhD candidate. Congratulations!
Our group submitted a new manuscript to GJI!
Zheng Xing will present his latest results during today’s departmental seismology seminar: “Robustness of Global Upper Mantle Radial Anisotropy Models and Effect of Crustal Corrections”
We had the pleasure of having Prof. Barbara Romanowicz give the Memorial Mautner Lecture, during which Igor Stubailo was one of two recipients of the Mautner award. Congratulations Igor!
Congratulations to Igor Stubailo for a successful PhD defense!
C.B. and collaborators at the University of Maryland and the Scripps Institution for Oceanography have been awarded a new grant by the National Science Foundation: “Collaborative Research: Detecting Seismic Anisotropy in the Upper Mantle and Upper Mantle Transition Zone” (NSF EAR #1446978).
Our group has 4 presentations at the 2014 AGU Fall meeting. Look for us in sessions DI22A, S41D, S51C, and S53A. In addition, C.B. is co-convener of a DI session “The Mantle Transition Zone: Its Role in Earth’s Thermochemical Evolution” starting Wednesday 17 December at 10:20am!

Very exciting news for our group! A new project in collaboration with Prof. Nicholas Schmerr (Maryland) and Prof. Gabi Laske (SIO, UCSD) is recommended for funding by the National Science Foundation!
