Nadine G Reitman, PhD (she/her)
As an earthquake geologist, I use numerical modeling, field observations, and quantitative analysis of remotely sensed data to investigate earthquake history of active faults and how earthquake history is recorded in a landscape. This work informs seismic hazard models and future risk.
I co-led the USGS-Hazards Unlearning Racism in Geoscience (URGE) pod and am invovled with ongoing JEDI/DEIA efforts at the GHSC and USGS. Please email me to chat more about unlearning racism in geoscience, the URGE program, and ongoing efforts.
