Alice Gabriel Joins Scripps Oceanography to Unravel Earthquake Mysteries
Alice Gabriel, a renowned seismologist, has joined Scripps Oceanography's Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Institute of Geophysics and Planetary Physics (IGPP). Her research focuses on the physics of earthquakes, using advanced hardware and software. Despite not being listed as part of Hans-Peter Grossart's group, Gabriel's work is making waves in the field.
Gabriel's journey in seismology began at Technical University Dresden, where she earned her bachelor's and master's degrees. She then moved to ETH Zurich for her PhD, completing it in 2013. After postdoctoral work and teaching roles in Munich, she joined Scripps Oceanography in 2022.
Her research involves studying earthquakes, particularly the 2023 Turkey earthquakes, using physics-based models that demand substantial computational resources. Gabriel employs modern tools like large supercomputers and cloud distributed systems to connect various data and observations. Her goal is to understand how earthquakes start, move, and stop.
At Scripps Oceanography, a leading center for global earth science research and education, Gabriel continues her quest to unravel the mysteries of earthquakes. Her work is expected to contribute significantly to the field, building on the institution's reputation and resources, including its fleet of four oceanographic research vessels and the Birch Aquarium at Scripps.
