Donna Eberhart-Phillips is a geologist known for her research on subduction zones, especially in Alaska and New Zealand.
Eberhart-Phillips earned her Ph.D. in 1989 from Stanford University where she worked on the tectonic processes in California. [1] As of 2021, Eberhart-Phillips has joint appointments at the University of California, Davies [2] and GNS Science in Dunedin, New Zealand. [3]
In 2018, Eberhart-Phillips was named a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited her "for fundamental contributions to the seismotectonic analysis of subduction zones and fault zones and innovations in seismic tomography." [4]
Eberhart-Phillips uses seismic data to examine earthquakes in subduction zones in New Zealand, [5] Alaska where she worked on the 2002 Denali earthquake, [6] and California where she worked on the 1992 Landers earthquake. [7] [8] In California, Eberhart-Phillips works on changes in the seismic waves from earthquakes from the Hayward Fault Zone as they move through the delta where the Sacramento and San Joaquin reach the sea.
