He has worked extensively around the Pacific Rim studying the earthquakes and volcanoes that erupt continuously in the most exciting settings on earth. Starting in the Cascades western Washington (Mount St. Helens) and along the San Adreas Fault in California, Professor Lees began exploring the dynamics of how volcanoes and tectonics work together.
