Elizabeth Scott Cochran is a seismologist known for her work on early warning systems for earthquakes and human-induced earthquakes.

Education and career

As a middle-school student living in California, Cochran experiences the 1989 Loma Prieta earthquake.[1] Cochran has a B.S. from the University of California, Santa Barbara (2000) and went on to earn an M.Sc.(2003) and a Ph.D.(2005) from the University of California.[2] Following her Ph.D. Cochran was a postdoctoral investigator at the University of California, San Diego.[3] From 2007 until 2011 Cochran was an assistant professor at the University of California, Riverside, until she joined the United States Geological Survey.[2]

Research

Cochran's early research was on the impact of the 1999 Hector Mine earthquake.[4][5] Her subsequent work examined the geographic extent of earthquake damage,[6] and defined the factors that lead to the 2011 Oklahoma earthquake.[7] In 2006, Cochran co-foundered of Quake-Catcher Network, a crowd-sourced program that detects earthquakes.[2] Quake-Cather Network was able to track the 2008 Reno earthquakes.[1] The original idea was to use laptops to track earthquakes,[8][9] but as the project evolved it outfitted citizen scientists with seismometers which are used to detect earthquakes.[10][11] Later, Cochran was the lead scientist for ShakeAlert, an early warning system for earthquakes in the western United States.[12][13]

Selected publications

Awards and honors

In 2006 Cochran received the Doris M. Curtis Outstanding Woman in Science Award from the Geological Society of America.[14] In 2010 Cochran received a Presidential Early Career Award for Scientists and Engineers, which is an honor given to early career scientists in the United States.[15]
