Chiara’s current research uses seismology to understand the interior of the Earth. She is particularly focused in using tomographic methods to image crust and mantle structure from regional (e.g., East African Rift, Gibraltar Arc System) to global scales.

Paper: The Irish Press
Headline: Two Papers by Dr. Schroedinger
Synopsis: 1943 was a busy year for Schroedinger. Not only did he deliver the "What is Life?" Lectures in @tcddublin in February in November he delivered two papers in the @RIAdawson (1/2) Retweeted by
