Anne Meltzer is a seismologist known for her research on earthquakes and the formation of mountain ranges.

Education and career[]

Meltzer has a B.S. in geology from Guilford College (1980), an M.S. in geology from University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill (1982),[1] and Ph.D. in geology and geophysics from Rice University (1989).[2] She has worked in industry at Gulf Research and Development Company (1982-1985) and at Exxon Production Research (1989-1990). In 1990 she moved to Lehigh University where she was promoted to professor in 2001. From 2004 to 2011, she was the Dean of the College of Arts and Sciences at Legigh University. In 2014 she was named the Francis J. Trembley Chair in Earth and Environmental Sciences.[1]

Research[]

Meltzer's research uses seismographic data to examine the formation of new mountain ranges including the Tibetan Plateau[3] and Nanga Parbat in Pakistan.[4][5] She has examined earthquake faults in Mongolia[6] and characterized the aftershocks of the April 2016 Ecuador earthquake.[7][8] Off the coast of California, Meltzer has also examined deformation of the oceanic plates in the Santa Maria Basin.[9]
