Visiting Research Professor of Geophysics, Geophysical Institute
Professor, Michigan State University
Northwestern University, '73, B.A., '76, M.S., '79, Ph.D.
Dr. Fujita has taught for the Department of Geological Sciences at Michigan State since 1979 and has been collaborating in tectonics research in Siberia with scientists from the Geophysical Institute since 1990. His research interests include the tectonics of plate margins, especially in Northeast Asia and the Arctic. Dr. Fujita received an Excellence in Teaching Award sponsored by the Amoco Foundation in 1992. He is currently an editorial board member for Tectonophysics and Journal of Physics of the Earth, and a member of the IRIS Standing Committee for the Global Seismograph Network.
