He extracted faint, gradual changes from continuous seismic data at the well-instrumented Parkfield section of the San Andreas Fault in California. By analysing two decades of records, Okubo connected small variations in wave speed to evolving properties of the fault region, offering a direct view of how a fault changes between large events.

She and her collaborators investigate the impacts of implementing advanced three-component polarization filtering in the time-frequency domain before applying conventional stacking to the data recorded by AlpArray. This investigation highlights the advantages and effectiveness of this approach in suppressing shear and surface waves and enhancing the SNR of phases from the deep mantle and core.

In the last 24 million years, conditions on Earth meant that there might have been very low levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere – levels that could have led to very cold conditions, but did not. Scientists have been asking why this was, and a team of researchers in the UK may have now found an answer.

The aim of her research, supervised by PD. Dr. Rolf-Alexander Duering is to test the relations between extractable metal concentrations in the soil and metal load of the plants (Lolio-Cynosuretum) depending on fertilization variations and the improvement of metal analysis in soils with microwave assisted extraction methodology.
