About

Jeffrey Park is a pioneering seismologist whose work bridges the gap between terrestrial and marine geophysics. His primary research focuses on broadband seismic monitoring, Earth structure, and the dynamics of the planet’s interior, with a particular emphasis on expanding observational networks into the oceans. Park’s major contribution lies in his leadership of the conceptual and technical framework for a long-term, automated, broadband seismic monitoring network on the global seafloor—a vision that addresses a critical blind spot in Earth science. This landmark 2020 paper, already garnering 25 citations, outlines a plan to deploy autonomous stations that would complement the land-based Global Seismographic Network, enabling the study of earthquakes, mantle structure, and tectonic processes across the 70% of Earth’s surface covered by water. By advocating for this ambitious infrastructure, Park has helped shape the future of global seismology, making it possible to detect subtle signals from deep Earth and remote subduction zones. His work has profound implications for hazard assessment and our understanding of planetary dynamics, cementing his role as a visionary in observational geophysics.
