Visiting Investigator

Dr. Morris Podolak arrived as a Visiting Investigator from the Tel Aviv University. He is a Professor of Planetary Sciences and a theoretician who has worked on a broad range of problems in planetary structure and evolution. He visited DTM to collaborate with Alan Boss and Conel Alexander on the fate of volatiles during solar system formation. Specifically, the three will be merging one of Dr. Podolak's dust grain codes with Boss's three dimensional hydrodynamics code to follow the growth and loss of volatile mantles on silicate dust grains as they traverse regions of the solar nebula with strongly varying temperature, density, and velocity.

 

Former Visiting Investigator

Tetsuo Takanami, a Carnegie Fellow at DTM during 1991 – 1993, returned to Japan following his appointment as a Visiting Investigator for a 2-year period, which ended on 1 April 2011. While at DTM, Dr. Takanami processed and analyzed borehole strainmeter observations from Hokkaido, including those from the M8 2003 Tokachi-Oki earthquake, possible slow-slip events along the Japan and Kurile trenches, and other measurements pertinent to the heterogeneity of intraplate coupling along those two subduction zones. Dr. Takanami, who collaborated with DTM’s Selwyn Sacks and Alan Linde, recently retired from his faculty position as an Associate Professor at the Institute of Seismology and Volcanology at Hokkaido University, and is currently a Visiting Professor at the Earthquake Research Institute (ERI), the University of Tokyo.
