Phone: +353-1-653-5147 x213
Address: Geophysics Section, 5 Merrion Square Dublin 2, Ireland
Research Interests
Ocean related acoustic/seismic noise, crust and lithosphere imaging, magnetotellurics, physical properties, rheology
Biographical Sketch
Florian graduated in geophysics from Ecole et Observatoire des Sciences de la Terre (EOST), Strasbourg in 2008. He then moved to DIAS, Ireland to study the Tibetan Plateau using magnetotellurics as part of his PhD which he concluded in 2012 under the supervision of Prof A.G. Jones. Between 2013 and 2015, he continued working with Prof Jones to investigate the lithosphere structure of the Leo-man shield in West Africa. He has now joined Prof C. Bean’s seismology group to study ocean generated microseisms in NE Atlantic.

The field season of the DIAS led HERSK project started last week when Icelandic Met Office engineers transported seismic gear with skidoos onto Hekla volcano. The HEkla Real-time Seimic networK project is funded by the GSI shortcall program and led by Martin Möllhoff at DIAS.
The DIAS geophysics team along with their colleagues successfully deployed the seismic network in this unique, natural laboratory in the Galapagos.
This inflation has critically stressed the rocks in the volcano, such that small local earthquakes are being triggered by the tiny ground shaking from large distant earthquakes in the surrounding Pacific ‘ring of fire’.
Recent ascent of magma to shallow levels in the volcano has caused more than one metre of uplift of the volcano’s surface and thousands of small earthquakes.
The fundamental aim of this international collaboration is to improve our understanding of how earthquakes can trigger one another by studying the seismicity at Sierra Negra.
Geophysicists from DIAS have recently assisted the University of Edinburgh & the Instituto Geofisico at the Escuela Politecnica Nacional (IGEPN), deploy a network of seismometers at Sierra Negra, a large basaltic volcano in the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.
