A. M. Freed studies how stress builds up and releases in the Earth, particularly around large earthquakes such as the 2011 Tohoku-oki and 2010 El Mayor-Cucapah events, and how the Earth's mantle deforms afterward. Separately, this researcher also studies impact craters and surface features on the Moon and Pluto, using modeling to explain geological patterns like crater rays and polygonal terrain. The work combines geophysical modeling of earthquake faults and mantle properties with planetary surface studies.
Publication output was relatively steady with a peak between 2017-2020 (3-6 papers/year) but has slowed markedly since 2021, with very few or no publications recorded in recent years.
