Yara Rossi

Dr. Sc.
Earth Sciences
Office: Earth Sciences, 1272 University of Oregon, Eugene OR 97403
Research Interests: I strive to understand the ground motions that occur during earthquakes. Specifically, I am interested in not only looking at translations but also how the ground tilts and rotates. In addition, I study how these rotations can be exploited to monitor buildings better.
