I am a geologist and professor who works with undergraduate and graduate students. I use code I've written in Mathematica to determine present-day strain in the continental crust using velocity data from permanent geodetic GPS stations. In other studies, I have written Mathematica code to help us better associate earthquakes with the faults that generated them. And I am writing a "textbook" whose chapters are Mathematica notebooks, on the subject of plate kinematics (that is, how to compute the motion of Earth's lithospheric plates). Some draft chapters from that effort are available at
