Hi (Olá!) I’m Paula & I'm a scientist – I study earthquakes and deformation of the Earth surface. I also estimate ages of rocks and landforms, using Geochronology (aka Black Magic!). I’m a field and lab geologist! My research crosses science fields! #ThisWomanDoes#WomeninScience
Questions:
What size Earthquake is necessary for a tsunami to occur?
How many people died in the 2011 Tsunami?
How far can a tsunami travel on land?

With seismic waves, scientists are able to figure out and determine what materials are beneath our Earth's crust. Different types of rock will allow seismic waves to flow differently. #taysci1
Taal Volcano Eruption. The seismogram shows no real build up, and almost instant vibrations. There is multiple spikes, so it could be multiple explosions. #taysci1
