Joanna Morgan
Joanna Morgan is a Professor of Geophysics at Imperial College London. She is a seismologist, and has co-led two seismic experiments across the Chicxulub impact crater in Mexico, which resolved a long-running debate on the size and morphology of this impact crater. In April-May 2016, she was one of the co-chief scientists on IODP-ICDP expedition 364 to drill into the crater's peak ring. She is part of the 3D full-waveform inversion group at Imperial, and has started to apply this technology to a number of blue-sky projects, including Chicxulub, mid-ocean ridges, Santorini and the Hikurangi subduction zone.
