A global study of double seismic zones and its implications for the mechanism of intermediate-depth earthquakes
The fundamental physical processes to generate earthquakes contradict the occurrence of intermediate-depth (80-350 km) seismicity: both pressure and temperature increase with depth, which inhibits fracture, unstable sliding, and promotes ductile flow. Classic experiments on olivine, the main …

Linear waves on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black holes and Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes
I study linear waves on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black holes and Schwarzschild de Sitter spacetimes. In the first part of this thesis two decay results are proven for general finite energy solutions to the linear wave equation on higher dimensional Schwarzschild black holes. I establish …
