Judith Gauriau

Judith Gauriau is a 4th year PhD candidate in the Earth Sciences department. She has a Master’s degree in Engineering Geology from the French-leading institution in geosciences. Her PhD has led her to undertake fieldwork in New Zealand and Southern California in order to characterize the past slip behavior of earthquake-generating faults. She generated a new method to classify faults that behave in a consistent manner through time from the ones which have less predictable slip patterns.

As a field geologist, she loves mountain hiking and aims at visiting as many National Parks as possible, during her stay in the US. In the remaining free time she has, she plays the violin in a symphonic orchestra.
