Welcome to the Denolle Quake Lab

“Discover, Transform, Empower: Uniting Seismology and Society”

Our vision is to pioneer transformative advancements in geohazard research by harnessing the power of big data analytics and cutting-edge seismological techniques (see Research) . Through a multidisciplinary approach, we aim to not only discover and characterize geohazards, also to elucidate their impact on society and the environment, and to characterize the evolution of our environment with climate change.

Our primary goal is to push the frontier of seismology beyond traditional boundaries, addressing critical societal challenges in climate change, wildlife conservation, energy sustainability, and environmental resilience. By leveraging big data analytics, we strive to unlock novel insights that can inform proactive mitigation strategies and policy interventions.

Central to our mission is the development of cloud-optimized, open-source workflows that facilitate seamless collaboration and reproducibility across scientific communities (see our Github). We are committed to fostering a culture of continuous learning and innovation, empowering our members to embrace modern technologies and AI-aided software practices. We contribute to open curriculum (e.g., Machine Learning in the Geosciences) and UW Geophysics YouTube Channel and the SCOPED YouTube Channel.

Through our collective efforts, we envision a future where the fusion of data-driven insights and interdisciplinary collaboration leads to more resilient communities and a sustainable planet. Join us as we embark on this journey to shape the future of geohazard research and its societal relevance.

Our mantra encapsulates our commitment to:

• Discovering and characterizing geohazards through big data analysis.
• Transforming seismology to address pressing societal challenges.
• Empowering our members through modern AI-aided practices and open-source workflows.

We are located in Seattle, WA, at the University of Washington, in the heart of the Pacific Northwest (PNW). The PNW is a wonderful natural laboratory to monitor earthquakes, landslides, volcanoes, glaciers, and more broadly speaking the subduction-zone environment.

We are looking for new graduate students, postdocs, and undergraduate researcher (more info) !
