Biography

Adrian Borsa is an associate professor at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography and director of the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics. His research describes how Earth's surface deforms at timescales of seconds to decades, and he links observed change to phenomena ranging from earthquakes to climate change. Dr. Borsa's expertise includes the collection and analysis of geometric data from many sources, including permanent and mobile GPS sensors, airborne lidar, and satellite remote sensing.
