Ian has a BSc in Physics (University of St Andrews) an MSc (advanced course) in Geophysics (University of Durham) and a PhD in Seismology (University of Edinburgh) for a thesis entitled ‘Seismotectonics and seismic hazard’, supervised by Paul Burton of the BGS and Kenneth Creer at the University of Edinburgh.
Ian got his first taste for research from a Carnegie undergraduate summer scholarship in laser physics at the University of St Andrews, supervised by Malcolm Dunn. In the funding gap between completion of his masters dissertation and start of his PhD he worked part-time as a lecturer on Physics at the then Napier College, Edinburgh and as a freelan...

I still enjoy playing the guitar and singing in sessions in the old town or events around Scotland (somewhat cathartic after the Covid pandemic), or running (very slowly) around Edinburgh’s green spaces.
Ian Main FRSE, FRSA, MAE, Professor of Seismology and Rock Physics. Research Ian is interested in the processes that lead up to catastrophic failure events, from earthquakes, rock fracture, and volcanic eruptions to failure of building materials and bridges, and in quantifying the resulting hazard. He is particularly interested in the ...

Ian Main’s personal web page. Research. Overview of Research Interests. Summary. We live on a dynamic planet, whose upper layers respond in a brittle fashion to slow forcing from the underlying mantle. This takes the form of localised earthquake faulting on a large scale, and fracturing on a much smaller scale.
