Raffaele Bonadio

Dr. Raffaele Bonadio is a Researcher in the Department of Earth Sciences at the University of Cambridge, affiliated with the Bullard Laboratories. His work focuses on understanding the mechanics and dynamics of the Earth's lithosphere and mantle, particularly in regions like Britain and Ireland. He employs advanced techniques such as surface wave analysis (teleseismic/ambient noise cross-correlation and waveform inversion) alongside computational petrology to model thermal structures of the lithosphere-asthenosphere system. Current research investigates how lithospheric thickness variations influence intraplate volcanism and uplift.

He holds an affiliation with the Bullard Laboratories, part of the Department of Earth Sciences. No grants, awards, or specific advising roles are explicitly detailed in the provided information. His research aligns with the department’s broader themes in Earth's Interior, Geodynamics, and Tectonics.
