Biography
After her dissertation at the University of Athens (NKUA), Margarita Segou held postdoctoral positions and fellowships at the US Geological Survey (Menlo Park) and at GeoAzur-CNRS (Nice), before joining the British Geological Survey in 2015. Her major interests are the physical processes of earthquake nucleation at different scales, involving short and long-term stress-mediated fault interaction.
Her research also addresses problems ranging from short-term subduction zone hazards, time-dependent seismic hazards, operational aftershock forecasts, earthquake probabilities and fault potentials in natural and induced seismicity cases by integrating complex physical and laboratory laws with existing empirical/statistical models.
