Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to announce the appointment of Dr. Michael E. Jackson as

of the UNAVCO-led Plate Boundary Observatory and later the San Andreas
Fault Observatory at Depth components of EarthScope. Prior to EarthScope
Dr. Jackson was the Network Operations Manager at the UNAVCO facility.
He has chaired and participated in numerous review panels for the NSF,
USGS, NOAA, and NASA. He has authored over 60 articles and abstracts on
tectonics, volcanology, atmospheric water vapor, and technological
innovations.
Dr. Jackson holds a B.S. in geology from the University of New Mexico,
as well as a Masters in geological sciences and a Ph.D. in geophysics,
both from the University of Colorado.
