ANA M.G. FERREIRA
Postdoctoral Research Assistant
My main research interest is to address the linked problems of elucidating the source process of
earthquakes and imaging the complex structure of the Earth's deep interior - seismic tomography.
In order to address these problems I aim at following a complete approach by:
Using improved formulations of seismic
propagation in heterogeneous media, exploring the potentialities of both purely numerical and asymptotic methods.
Developing objective seismic inversion strategies to maximise the information extracted from the data.
Fully exploring the richness of the data, with special focus on instruments.
The ultimate goal is to understand the large scale thermal and mechanical behaviour of the crust and mantle
over geologic time.
