Susan Bilek

Susan Bilek is a Professor in the Department of Earth & Environmental Science at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology. Her research integrates seismology with environmental science, focusing on earthquake dynamics, subduction zone processes, and the use of seismic methods to monitor hydrogeological systems.

Her work spans tectonic and induced seismicity, fault mechanics, and environmental seismology, particularly in karst aquifers and ephemeral river systems. Bilek employs innovative field instrumentation and signal processing to study how seismic signals reveal subsurface structures and fluid movements.

Her publications reflect a strong emphasis on subduction zone heterogeneity, seismic monitoring of hydrological processes, and advances in ocean-bottom seismology. Awards and advising details are not specified in the provided text.
