Hélène Le Mével, a postdoctoral fellow at DTM, will give a talk titled "Investigating magma reservoirs with geodesy" at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, December 6, 2016, in the Greenewalt Lecture Hall as part of DTM's Weekly Series.
Le Mével received her Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison in 2016. Her research focuses on understanding the surface deformation measured at volcanoes. In her Ph.D. research, she used GPS and InSAR data to study the ongoing unrest started in 2007 at Laguna del Maule volcanic field in Chile and characterized by high rates of uplift. Using time series analysis she revealed a nonlinear temporal evolution of the uplift, modeled as the injection of new magma into a large reservoir at depth.
Coffee, tea, and a continental breakfast will be served before the lecture at 10:30.
