Research interests

Integrated geophysical-petrological thermochemical imaging of lithosphere and underlying upper mantle using inversion and forward approaches and different data sets at global and regional scales.
3D Lithospheric modelling integrating different geophysical data: potential fields, surface heat flow, elevation, seismic velocities, electrical conductivity, and mantle composition.
Lithosphere-Asthenosphere boundary geometry in the Atlantic-Mediterranean transition (western limit of the Eurasian-African plate boundary).
Electrical conductivity of the upper mantle minerals

DIAS Geophysics 2 months ago

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.
