معرفی
Thomas Hudson is a Lecturer at ETH Zurich's Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences, specializing in seismology with a focus on novel technologies for Earth system studies. He holds a PhD in Earth Sciences from the University of Cambridge and has held academic positions at the University of Oxford and ETH Zurich. His research integrates cutting-edge seismic instrumentation, such as distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) and seismic nodes, to investigate critical processes like glacier dynamics, geothermal fluid migration, and critical mineral exploration. Recent projects include studying Antarctic ice stream mechanics and geothermal systems using fiber optic sensing.

- PhD in Earth Sciences (2015–2019), University of Cambridge/British Antarctic Survey
- MPhys in Physics (2012–2015), University of Durham
- BEng in Mechanical Engineering (2010–2012), University of Bath
Research Interests:
Hudson’s work spans:
- Glacier processes (crevassing, basal slip)
- Geothermal fluid dynamics and critical mineral exploration
- Development of DAS and seismic node technologies
- Volcanic and tectonic seismicity analysis
Advising & Grants:
Hudson leads projects funded by institutions such as ETH Zurich and international collaborations. He actively mentors early-career researchers through fellowships and academic roles at Oxford and ETH Zurich.
Labs/Teams:
Affiliated with ETH Zurich’s Institute of Geophysics and collaborates globally on initiatives like Antarctic cryosphere monitoring and geothermal exploration.
