Thesis Lateral variation in upper mantle temperature and composition beneath mid-ocean ridges inferred from shear-wave propagation, geoid, and bathymetry (1991)

Anne Sheehan is a geologist known for her research using seismometer data to examine changes in the Earth's crust and mantle.

Education and career

Sheehan has a B.S. from the University of Kansas (1984) and earned her Ph.D. from Massachusetts Institute of Technology in 1991. [1] Following her Ph.D, she was a postdoc at Lamont–Doherty Earth Observatory and the University of Nevada, Reno. [2] In 1993 she moved to the University of Colorado Boulder, where she was promoted to professor in 2006. [1]

In 2014 Sheehan was elected a fellow of the American Geophysical Union who cited her "for developing methods to image the Earth using seismometer arrays, to explain deformation processes of mountains, oceanic, and continental plates." [3]

Research

Sheehan's research centers on the Earth's crust and mantle with a focus on formation of the lithosphere and the impact of Induced seismicity. She uses field data collected from seismic instruments deployed in a variety of locations including oceanic lithosphere near the Bermuda Rise [4] and the East Pacific Rise, [5] the subduction zone near New Zealand, [6] and the Sierra Nevada mountain range in California. [7] Her research on the impact of induced seismicity describes the process by which earthquakes occur following fluid injection. [8] While Sheehan was working with ocean-bottom seismometers in New Zealand she realized that small waves detected by the instruments could be expanded to outfit cargo ships with instrumentation to detecting tsunamis. [9] [10] This research would benefit coastal communities in the path of tsunamis formed after earthquakes at the seafloor. [11]
