Frederik Simons studies the seismic, mechanical, thermal, and magnetic properties of planetary lithospheres. He analyzes complex, large, and heterogeneous geophysical data sets, using theoretical and computational inverse methods and statistical techniques. He is developing floating hydrophones to open up the sparsely instrumented oceanic domains for global tomography.
