Jamie Farrell

Dr. Jamie Farrell is a Research Associate Professor in the Department of Geology and Geophysics at the University of Utah. He serves as Chief Seismologist of the Yellowstone Volcano Observatory, focusing on the Yellowstone volcanic system's seismic and geodetic characteristics.

• Ph.D., University of Utah (2014)
• M.S., University of Utah (2007)
• B.S., Utah State University (2001)

Farrell's research integrates seismology and geodesy to investigate the Yellowstone magmatic system, earthquake swarms, and interactions between volcanic and tectonic processes. His work includes tomographic imaging of magma reservoirs, seismic hazard assessment, and hydrothermal signal analysis.

Recent publications emphasize microseism generation in Yellowstone Lake, magmatic sills beneath Yellowstone caldera, and earthquake swarm dynamics linked to fluid migration. Collaborators include Dr. Fan-Chi Lin, Dr. Brandon Schmandt, and Dr. Robert B. Smith.
