Annie Souriau is a seismologist known for her research into Earth's inner and outer cores.
Education and career
Annie Souriau began her Education at École normal supérieure de Fontenay-aux-Roses, which was reserved as a school for girls, during that time her specialty was physics. She then moved onto Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris where she obtained her Ph.D. in seismology on the structure of the upper mantle [1]. After completing this Souriau then moved on to Toulouse in 1979 to work with the Geodesy Research Group, where alongside and led by Michel Lefebvre, they created a CNRS structure which was used to create a link between fundamental research and space experiments in Earth physics[1].[2] She spent 1983 to 1984 at Harvard University, followed by a six-month period in Canberra.[2] She was a senior scientist at CNRS (Centre national de la Recherche Scientifique).[when?][3]
Research
Souriau is known for her combination of observational data and modeling to examine the structure of Earth's internal core, particularly within the Pyrenees mountains.[4] She has also examined how earthquakes[5] and the drift of the Earth's pole[6] interact with the Chandler wobble, and the heterogeneous nature of the mantle and how it interacts with the surface topography of Earth[7]
