معرفی
Gabi Laske is a Professor at the Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP), Scripps Institution of Oceanography (SIO), University of California, San Diego (UCSD). She is a leading researcher in seismology and geophysics, with a focus on Earth's internal structure, crustal and mantle modeling, and ocean-bottom seismology. Her work has significantly advanced global crustal models, including CRUST5.1, CRUST2.0, and CRUST1.0.
Her research interests include seismology, geophysics, Earth's internal structure, surface wave tomography, normal mode analysis, crustal and lithospheric modeling, ocean bottom seismology, mantle plumes, inner core rotation, ambient noise seismology, and earthquake signal processing. She has led major projects such as the Hawaiian PLUME and SWELL experiments, utilizing ocean-bottom seismometers to study mantle dynamics and lithospheric rejuvenation. Her work on inner core differential rotation, particularly with Guy Masters, has been published in top journals like Nature and Science.
The 15 most recent publications reflect a strong trend in ocean-bottom seismology, ambient noise analysis, instrument calibration, seismic signal quality, and imaging of crustal and mantle structure. Her work combines observational seismology with advanced signal processing and modeling techniques, often in collaboration with students and international teams. She has made significant contributions to understanding seismic anisotropy, normal modes, and the structure of volcanic and tectonic regions.
- Funded by NSF (OCE, EAR, CSEDI, MG&G)
- Collaborative projects with USGS, international institutions
- Advisor to PhD students, including Adrian Doran
- Lead developer of DLOPy for OBS orientation
