Jeroen Tromp

Field: Geophysics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1994

Research Interests

I relate observations of earthquake-generated seismic waves to the large-scale internal structure of the Earth.

Robert D. Van der Hilst

Field: Geophysics
Packard Fellowship award year: 1998

Research Interests

Robert Van der Hilst is conducting research into the structure of the Earth's mantle. The study of the Earth's deep interior is typically based on inferences from seismic waves excited by earthquakes. Van der Hilst's efforts are designed to extract structural information from a range of wave types recorded in seismograms, to study large scale geodynamical processes in the Earth's interior.
