Samer Naif, a postdoctoral research scientist at Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory, will give a talk titled, “Electromagnetic imaging of water-rich faults and melt-rich mantle across the Middle America Trench”, at 11 a.m. on 10 March 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Seminar Series.
Naif received his Ph.D. in Earth sciences from the University of California, San Diego, in 2015. He uses magnetotelluric and controlled-source electromagnetic data to model the electrical resistivity structure of the Earth in order to investigate tectonic processes.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30 a.m.
