Living with Earthquakes: Know Your Faults

Sumatra · 09-22-2011, 11:05 AM

This article is taken from Eighth Mallet-Milne Lecture that published in Journal of Earthquake Engineering. Prof. James Jackson is well known both amongst those working in seismology and hazard assessment, and to a wider audience for his rare and outstanding ability to communicate the complexities of Earth physics in a comprehensible way that makes them accessible to those outside his own discipline. Prof. James Jackson took B.A. and M.A. degrees in Geology at the Cambridge University and then went on to study for his doctorate with Professor Dan McKenzie. Dr. Jackson completed his Ph.D. thesis on "Active Faulting and Continental Deformation" 'in 1980. Since then, James has made a distinguished career as a teacher and as a researcher at Cambridge, becoming Reader in 1996. This does not imply that Dr.Jackson's career has been limited to his alma mater: we can mention his time spent as a visiting scholar at MIT, Stanford and the Institute of Geological and Nuclear Sciences in New Zealand. He has published almost 100 papers in learned journals and is widely recognized as a leading authority on crustal deformations. Dr. Jackson has also served as Associate Editor of the Journal of Geophysical Research, Advisory Editor of the Journal of the Geological Society, London, and a member of the Editorial Board of Journal of Structural Geology.
