Arwen Deuss

Prof. Dr. Arwen Deuss is a full Professor at the Faculty of Geosciences, Utrecht University, specializing in Seismology. Her research focuses on mapping Earth's deep interior using global seismology, with particular emphasis on mantle discontinuities, core structure, and whole Earth oscillations. She integrates seismological data with mineral physics, geodynamic modeling, and geochemistry to understand planetary evolution.

• Key research areas: Earth's Deep Interior, Global Seismology, Mantle Discontinuities, Inner Core Anisotropy
• Teaches courses in Theoretical Seismology, Earth Systems, and Planetary Interior Structure
• Developed open-source tools like FrosPy for normal mode analysis

Her recent work explores 3D mantle attenuation, tilted transverse isotropy in the inner core, and seismic wave coupling. She leads projects connecting seismic tomography with geodynamic processes and maintains active collaborations in international seismological research.
