Research Interests
Dr. Joanna Papoulia’s research interests are focused on:
• active seismic tomography and velocity modeling (observation of long offset seismic profiles for basin and crustal mapping, velocity modeling and depth migration)
• passive seismic experiments with combined on/offshore networks -monitoring of seismicity offshore using Ocean Bottom Seismographs, correlation with tectonics and identification of active faults
• seismic hazard and engineering applications in coastal areas by simultaneous consideration of onshore and offshore geophysical data; seismic and environmental hazard for engineering applications
Dr. Papoulia was Scientific Coordinator in 11 research projects, and participant in 13 projects.
