Gianina Meneses
Geophysicist
I'm a South American early career postdoctoral researcher with background in Seismology and Geodesy.
About me
I have contributed for more than 10 years as a researcher in the fields of Seismology and Geodesy, gaining experience in the deployment of seismic and GPS instruments. In the past, my research has been focused in the chilean subduction zone, specifically studying earthquake early warning, slow slip and the postseismic earthquake phase. With the aim to better understand the earthquake process, I'm currently using geodetic techniques to study deformation and its relation with mid-continental seismicity.
