Laura Gaßner

Laura Gaßner is a Researcher at the Geophysical Institute (GPI) of the Karlsruhe Institute of Technology (KIT), specializing in Applied Geophysics. Her work bridges seismic inversion techniques, wind turbine-induced ground motion analysis, and marine geophysics.

Education:

• Master's and PhD (2019) from KIT, with a dissertation on full-waveform inversion for gas-hydrate imaging.

Research Interests:

• Modeling and inversion of seismic wave fields for subsurface exploration
• Seismic and acoustic emissions from wind turbines in low mountain ranges
• Marine seismics for gas-hydrate and deep-sea fan characterization
• Ground motion analysis and its societal impacts
• Integration of multidisciplinary data for environmental impact studies
• Computational geophysics with finite-difference and inversion methodologies

Scientific Trends: Her publications focus on wind turbine seismo-acoustic emissions, gas-hydrate imaging via full-waveform inversion, and fluid-induced microseismicity. Key keywords include Seismology, Environmental Geophysics, Marine Geophysics, and Computational Modeling, with sub-fields like Wind Turbine Seismology, Gas Hydrate Systems, and Fault Reactivation Analysis.
