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.

Sometimes, as a geophysicist, you come across #gravityArt that looks like a "World War Z" poster. But I tell you, it is just a benchmark between two forward spherical harmonic codes that approach the numeric noise levels of their computers. #TUDelft & @dias_geophysicsRetweeted by

All set and ready to go for #CultureNight#OicheChultuir Ask Dr Mícheál Hoyne or Dr @Naoicea ANYTHING about Medieval & early modren Irish satire.
The first talk will kick off 5.30pm followed by a second one at 6.30pm. Enjoy!

How loud is the Irish Sea? These @RS_Aqua ORCAs from @dias_geophysics are ready to listen for ships passing, trawling or maybe dolphins?🐬Even our geophysics with @DrMarkyC @iCRAGcentre onboard #CelticVoyager makes noise!
