Maggi Glasscoe is a Geophysicist in the Earth Surface and Interior Group at the Jet Propulsion Laboratory, California Institute of Technology. She is the Principal Investigator of the E-DECIDER (Emergency Data Enhanced Cyber Infrastructure for Disaster Evaluation and Response) project, a decision support platform providing rapid remote sensing and modeling results to disaster managers and responders following earthquakes and other disasters.  She has experience working with a number of viscoelastic and elastic fault simulation software. Her research includes modeling deformation of the Earth’s crust to study postseismic response to large earthquakes, numerical models of the rheological behavior of the crust, and simulations and analysis of interacting fault systems. She is a researcher on the GeoGateway project and a member of the JPL NISAR Project Science Team.
