Theme: Aseismic Slip and Aftershocks During the Very Early POSTseismic Deformation (VE-POST): Intensive High-Rate GNSS Position Time
Host: Yuji ITOH
Introduction: Mathilde Vergnolle, Ph.D. in geophysics, has been a CNRS researcher since 2006 and works at the Géoazur laboratory (UniCA, OCA, CNRS, IRD). Her research focuses on transient aseismic deformation of the Earth's crust following or between earthquakes, using GNSS geodesy and modeling to understand the seismic cycle. She co-led the development of the GNSS European infrastructure within EPOS (2015–2019) and currently leads both the EPOS European GNSS Data Portal and the French GNSS data distribution service. Since 2015, she has led a project on very early postseismic deformation (funded by the French National Research Agency), enhancing our ability to observe and analyze the transition from fast to slow slip. In collaboration with Dr. Y. Itoh, this work now aims to expand observation of this early phase beyond a few case studies.
