Eli Silver's research involves study of the active processes and mechanisms of continental margin evolution, focusing on subduction. He uses a wide variety of techniques, including marine and subaerial geology and geophysics.
Silver is currently focusing on the tectonic and hydrogeologic behavior of the Central American subduction zone, specifically using 3D seismic reflection data and surface bathymetry and imagery to understand how physical processes change approaching the zone in which earthquakes are generated. Surface imagery combined with 3D seismic data are used to discover the pathways of dewatering and degassing of the continental margin during the subduction process.
