Summary
The solid Earth is a dynamic system and as such is constantly changing. Some of these changes involve the large energetic release of volcanic eruptions, megathrust earthquakes or the moving of large ice sheets at the poles towards the oceans. Each of these phenomena have either a direct or an indirect impact for human populations and understanding them might be the only solution to be more resilient to their effects. Particularly, I am interested in understanding how volcanoes work and the effect that they might have in the places that surround them. Are volcanic regions intrinsically different from other places on Earth? Do they produce more earthquakes or less? What exactly happens inside, and nearby, of a volcano between and during major explosive eruptions? And do they influence the thermal structure of the surrounding crust? My doctoral dissertation has focused on addressing these types of questions by utilizing geophysical methods that include modern techniques applied to old data and the application of classic methods to modern data.
