I arrived at Caltech in June 1986,with interests in both mineral physics and seismology.I was excited to either study mineral physics with Professor Tom Ahrens,or investigate great earthquakes with Hiroo Kanamori.Upon arriving,I decided seismology would be my path.I was particularly interested in Hiroo’s work on earthquake size,from some papers I read as an undergraduate(Kanamori,1978,1983).
