Zach Ross to receive the the Keiiti Aki Young Scientist Award from theAmerican Geophysical Union

Zach, recently appointed as an Assistant Professor of Geophysics at Caltech, is at the forefront of developing automated methods for extracting geophysical information from large seismic datasets to investigate earthquake processes and fault properties. Recently, Ross identified nearly two million previously unidentified tiny earthquakes that occurred between 2008 and 2017 by pouring through 10 years' worth of Southern California seismic data (https://www.caltech.edu/about/news/scientists-identify-almost-2-million-previously-hidden-earthquakes). In recognition of his many scientific accomplishments as a young scientist, Zach will receive the prestigious Keiiti Aki Award at the Fall AGU Meeting in San Francisco.

Congratulations Zach!
