Biographical Sketch:
Eva Eibl completed her B.Sc. degree in Geosciences and M.Sc. degree in Geophysics at LMU and TU Munich in 2010 and 2012, respectively. Due to her broad interest in geophysics and geology and her fascination for volcanoes she joined University College Dublin in 2012 as a PhD Student in Volcano seismology. She is part of the EU funded project FutureVolc and works on glacier covered volcanoes in Iceland where tremor is generated by various processes. She was involved in the design and installation of seismic arrays and focuses on locating tremor, on understanding the underlying mechanism(s) and on finding ways to distinguish tremor from different sources.
