Annie Souriau is a seismologist known for her research into Earth's inner and outer cores.

Education and career

Souriau obtained her Ph.D. in seismology in 1978 at Institut de Physique du Globe in Paris and then moved to Toulouse in 1979 to work in the Geodesy Research Group.[1] She spent 1983 to 1984 at Harvard University, followed by a six-month period in Canberra.[1] She was a senior scientist at CNRS (Centre national de la Recherche Scientifique).[when?][2]

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.[3] She has also examined how earthquakes[4] and the drift of the Earth's pole[5] interact with the Chandler wobble, and the heterogeneous nature of the mantle and how it interacts with the surface topography of Earth[6]
