Specific projects to be undertaken will include examination of the strain partitioning within the Caribbean- North American plate boundary and its implications for seismic hazards in Puerto Rico and measurement of surface deformation associated with dome growth and/or magma chamber inflation in the currently active Soufriere Hills volcanic center on the island of Montserrat, West Indies. ***
