Amy Gilligan is a Lecturer in Geophysics at the School of Geosciences, University of Aberdeen. She specializes in using seismic data to investigate tectonic and environmental processes, with a focus on developing seismicity catalogs and seismic velocity models for diverse tectonic settings. Her work integrates deep learning methods to enhance the efficiency of large dataset analysis.
Education:
- MEarthSci in Earth Sciences (2010) - University of Oxford
- PhD in Seismology (2014) - University of Cambridge
- PGCert in Higher Education Teaching and Learning (2023) - University of Aberdeen
Current research centers on north east Scotland through the PICTS broadband seismometer network, examining the Highland Boundary Fault's role in Scotland's geological evolution. She also continues work with the nBOSS network (2018-2022) in northern Borneo to study post-subduction processes and seismic hazards. Her methodologies include passive seismic imaging techniques like receiver functions, surface waves, and shear-wave splitting.
Scientific Affiliations & Awards:
- Fellow of the Higher Education Academy (FHEA)
Prior to Aberdeen, she worked at Imperial College London on the seismic structure of the lithosphere in Eastern Canada and conducted PhD research at the University of Cambridge on crustal and upper mantle imaging in central Asia, including the Kyrgyz Tien Shan and India-Eurasia collision zones.
