Simon L. Klemperer is a geophysicist and professor of Geophysics and Geological Sciences at Stanford University. [2] He is best known for his contribution in lithospheric structure and tectonics studies. [3] [4]
Klemperer completed his bachelor's (1980) and master's degree (1984) at Cambridge University. [2] In 1985, he is conferred the Ph.D. degree from Cornell University for his thesis on 'the continental lower crust and Moho' studies. [5]
Klemperer worked as a research fellow at Cambridge University after completing his Ph.D. degree. [2] He joined the Stanford Geophysics faculty in 1990 and made the professor of Geophysics and Geological Sciences in 2005. [2]
Klemperer's research mostly aims on understanding the lithospheric structures and tectonics using a variety of geophysics and geological methods, with particular focuses on Tibet Plateau and Himalaya. [2] [3] He has participated in the INDEPTH (International Deep Profiling of Tibet and the Himalaya) project, using seismic data to study the crustal movement beneath Tibet. [6] [7] [8]
Klemperer is widely involved in collaborations with USGS, Indian NGRI, Chinese CAGS, and other university faculties in Tibet geophysical observations, including HIMPROBE and SINOPROBE. [9] His research group also studies the earth's structures and tectonics with a global coverage. [3] [10] [11]
