George Pharris is an incoming graduate student at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology working with Dr. Veronica Prush and Dr. John Naliboff. They graduated from Smith College in spring 2022 with a degree in Geosciences, where they wrote an honors thesis investigating global seismic moment balance.
George previously completed an internship with USGS through their Virtual Student Federal Service (VSFS) program, writing geologic histories of national parks in the Midwest. Their previous research at Smith includes work on the effect of urbanization on seismicity rate, reservoir properties of carbonate rock in The Bahamas, and tectonic plate coupling at the Hikurangi subduction zone.
