Dr. Doser’s research interests include studies of historical pre-1964 and recent earthquakes in south-central, southeast and interior Alaska. She also applies geophysical techniques to environmental and engineering problems including watershed studies and estimating the quality/quantity of saline and freshwater aquifers. Results of her earthquake studies have helped in producing the next generation of earthquake hazard maps for the Alaska region. Her shallow geophysical studies are helping to assess the structural and stratigraphic controls on groundwater resources of the El Paso area. She recently began the Editor in Chief of the Bulletin of the Seismological Society of America. Dr. Doser teaches a range of geophysical, geological and environmental related courses including non-seismic geophysical methods, inverse theory, applied Quaternary geology, environmental geology/geophysics, geological engineering and well logging. In August 2010 she received a “University of Texas System Regents’ Outstanding Teaching Award” for her teaching at an undergraduate level. Her currently/recently funded research includes
- Earthquake seismology/seismotectonic studies of southeastern Alaska
- Constraints on the Structure of the Border Ranges Fault System, South-Central Alaska from Integrated 3-D Inversion of Gravity/Magnetic Data
