Dr. Dariush Motazedian is an engineering seismologist and interested in the stochastic and deterministic earthquake fault modeling, seismic microzonation studies, three dimensional seismic basin modelling, and earthquake ground motion relations. He has been at Carleton University since 2003 and have a strong collaboration with Geological Survey of Canada for microzonation studies for Ottawa and Gatineau area. He also has collaborations with Hydro and Quebec and Groupe Qualitas Inc, through a CRD-NSERC grant led by Laval University for studying on the dynamic properties of Champlain sea clays. His other line of research aims to provide a unique region-specific model of seismic soil amplification for different site classes in Eastern Canada.  He is a member of Canadian Seismic Research Network (an NSERC-funded Strategic Research Network), of which he was the project leader and play the leading role in the microzonation project.
