Welcome

Led by Profs. Domenico Giardini and Eduard Kissling, Seismology and Geodynamics (SEG) is an autonomous group within the Institute of Geophysics, Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences at ETH Zurich. We use seismic waves of all kinds and wavelengths to image, with the help of seismic tomography, the three dimensional structure of the inner parts of the Earth.


The SEG is a multicultural environment, and we work in close cooperation with numerous institutions around the world. Our group emphasizes the didactic aspects of research: a few doctoral positions typically open every year and we encourage applications from motivated students with a quantitative background in Physics, Earth Sciences, Mathematics, Engineering, or Computer Sciences.
