Research summary
AI-generated

Egill Hauksson studies earthquakes and the movement of faults, focusing especially on Southern California and the San Andreas Fault system. The work involves cataloging and analyzing seismic activity, mapping the geometry of faults, understanding the stresses in the Earth's crust, and improving systems that monitor earthquakes and provide early warnings. Much of this research draws on data from regional seismic monitoring networks.

Collaborators per year
Distinct co-authors at Indiana University each year — a rough indication of whether the group around this researcher has been growing or contracting. An estimate from co-authorship, not a roster: collaborators are not necessarily lab members, and recent years can be under-counted while indexing catches up.
