About
Professor Jeannot Trampert is a leading seismologist at Utrecht University's Faculty of Geosciences, where he serves as Professor of Seismology within the Department of Earth Sciences. His research group focuses on extracting information from ground motion recorded at global and regional seismic networks to produce three-dimensional models of the Earth's interior and seismic sources, primarily using high-performance computing approaches. With over 250 publications spanning decades, Trampert maintains an active research program with recent works published through 2025.
Trampert's research expertise encompasses several critical areas of modern seismology:
- Theoretical and computational seismology
- Earthquake physics and analysis
- Earth's deep interior structure
- Inverse theory applications
- Machine learning in geophysical data analysis
- Mineral physics and Earth composition
His recent publications demonstrate an increasing integration of machine learning techniques with traditional seismological methods, particularly for analyzing seismic data from the Groningen gas field in the Netherlands. Trampert's work bridges theoretical seismology with practical applications in monitoring induced seismicity, pore pressure changes, and temperature effects on seismic wave propagation. His research group actively collaborates with international partners on projects involving full-waveform inversion, mantle structure analysis, and seismic monitoring systems.
Professor Trampert has supervised numerous students throughout his career, with university records indicating 29 supervised works. His research receives consistent funding through multiple grants, supporting both fundamental research and applied projects related to geohazards and resource extraction. He maintains active collaborations with institutions across Europe and participates in major research initiatives like EPOS-NL, the Dutch solid earth science infrastructure for georesources and geohazards research.
