Biography

Sanne Cottaar is a global seismologist  at the University of Cambridge and is interested in uncovering the the deep Earth, and its links to surface processes and planetary evolution.  Her approach is both data-driven, hunting for clues mainly using body waves; and multi-disciplinary, working with mineral physicists and geodynamicists to understand the implications of the observations.  Sanne has worked at all depths within the Earth, from the crust to the inner core, but her recent work has largely focused on mapping ULVZs on the core-mantle boundary, potentially linked to the base of mantle plumes.
