Jeremy Maurer

Dr. Jeremy Maurer is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Geosciences and Geological and Petroleum Engineering at Missouri University of Science and Technology since January 2020. His research focuses on earthquake science, geodetic data analysis, and predictive modeling using tools like InSAR, GNSS, and machine learning.

• Ph.D. in Geophysics and Seismology, Stanford University (2018)
• M.S. in Geosciences, Indiana University - Bloomington (2013)
• M.A. in Exegetical Studies, Grace College and Seminary (2011)
• B.A. in General Science, Grace College and Seminary (2010)

Dr. Maurer's research bridges geophysics, seismology, and geo-data science. He specializes in quantifying earthquake hazards through geodetic strain rate estimation, fault slip deficit modeling, and InSAR validation with lidar/GPS. His work spans Californian groundwater systems, Caribbean plate boundaries, and Central American tectonic zones.

Recent publications (2024-2025) address subsidence modeling in agricultural regions, seismic hazard frameworks for New Zealand, and advanced InSAR calibration techniques. Themes include fault mechanics, strain rate dynamics, and cross-disciplinary applications of quantitative tools.

Dr. Maurer is a member of the American Geophysical Union and Seismological Society of America. His work has been featured in 19 media outlets, including studies on directional shaking from the 1976 Guatemala earthquake and the launch of the first U.S. geospatial engineering master's degree.
