Adam Dziewonski

Adam Dziewonski was a prominent geophysicist known for his groundbreaking work in seismology and the study of the Earth's interior. He developed innovative techniques to analyze seismic waves generated by earthquakes, which helped scientists better understand the structure and behavior of the Earth’s crust and mantle. His research contributed to the field of global seismology, improving our knowledge of plate tectonics and the dynamics of the Earth's layers. Dziewonski's work has had significant implications for both natural disaster preparedness and our overall understanding of planetary processes.
