Biographical Sketch Emma is a postdoctoral research fellow, specialising in seismic imaging and joint geophysical-petrological inversion. She is the principal investigator of the MOD3LTHERM and GRANNUS projects. These projects aim to develop new methodology to determine subsurface lithology information and incorporate this into a new joint inversion scheme. The outputs will be used to determine the geothermal potential in both high and low enthalpy domains at a range of scales. As part of the De-Risking Ireland’s Geothermal potential (DIG) project, she worked to produce Ireland scale seismic tomography maps and models of the geothermal gradient and subsurface temperature distribution. This was achieved by using a joint petrological-geophysical inversion. Additionally she learned how to take thermal conductivity measurements to improve the temperature models. Previously, she obtained her PhD in geophysics from the University of Southampton focusing on using surface wave dispersion curves to tomographically image the Northern East African Rift System. She has extensive fieldwork skills and has lead field teams in Kenya, Ireland and Ethiopia.
