Edward Garnero

Building connections between disciplines, Edward Garnero explores the intricate internal structures of planets through the lens of seismology. As a Professor in the School of Earth and Space Exploration at Arizona State University, he delves into the mysteries of Earth's mantle and the enigmatic core-mantle boundary. His pioneering research has unveiled large, continental-sized anomalies within Earth's deep mantle, as well as ultra-low velocity zones that suggest the presence of partially molten materials. Garnero's work is instrumental in advancing our understanding of the dynamic processes that shape planetary interiors. By identifying these anomalies, he provides valuable insights into the complex mechanisms driving Earth's geological activity. His research not only enhances our comprehension of Earth's internal dynamics but also offers broader implications for the study of other planetary bodies. With a keen interest in the interplay between seismology and planetary science, Garnero's contributions extend beyond traditional disciplinary boundaries. His findings have significant implications for the fields of geophysics and planetary science, offering a deeper understanding of the forces that govern planetary evolution. Through his innovative approach, Garnero continues to push the boundaries of knowledge, fostering a greater appreciation for the intricate workings of our planet and beyond.
