Biography
Prof. Chris Bean leads iCRAG’s geophysics research. His research area covers various aspects of seismology, with a focus on volcano processes and imagery in highly heterogeneous structures. Following completion of his PhD at the Dublin Institute for Advanced studies, Chris joined the UCD School of Geological Sciences in 1989. In 1993 he established the Geophysics Group and became coordinator of the BSc (Topical) degree in Geophysical Science in collaboration with the School of Physics.
