Short presentation

I am interested in Earth structure and what it can tell us about processes such as tectonics and volcanism, but also on a smaller scale where it can provide valuable information on various reservoirs. I work with seismic-wave propagation and the distribution of elastic and anelastic properties inside Earth (tomography) as well as detailed location of their sources (earthquakes and tremor) with some emphasis on uncertainty estimation.

Keywords

  • volcanic tremor
  • ambient-noise tomography
  • microseismicity
  • lithospheric structure
  • surface waves
