Home Page Supplementary		Welcome to Bill Holt's Group Page at Stony Brook University. My main areas of research involve the investigation into the kinematics and dynamics of large-scale deformation of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. Graduate Students. Elliot Klein.

What drives the earth's tectonic plates? Does the mantle have a role to play? And if it does how significant is it? These are some of the questions that we are trying to answer about Lithosphere-Mantle coupling. Lada L. Dimitrova. Mars Project. Daniel Hernandez. With the advancements in continuous global positioning systems (GPS) over the last ten years, scientists can now take a high resolution, four dimensional look at tectonic stresses and strains. Of particular interest to our project is to recognize strain transients and test for their spatial and temporal coherence in an effort to better understand the interseismic strain cycle.
