Dr Kate Selway
School of Natural Sciences
I am an Earth scientist interested the composition and structure of the crust and upper mantle. My primary expertise is with the geophysical tool magnetotellurics, which we use to measure how electrically conductive the Earth is. Since Earth's interior is such a hidden puzzle, I also try to use as...View full profile in our Researcher's database

Dr Steven Hansen
School of Engineering
My research uses geophysics, primarily seismology, to increase our understanding of the structure and processes occurring within the Earth’s subsurface. This research is mainly focused on the structure of the lithosphere, i.e. from the surface to depths of about 250 km, using seismic waves generated by distant earthquakes. I have...View full profile in our Researcher's database
