Environmental and Resource Geophysics
Thomas Hudson has been appointed as Assistant Professor of Environmental and Resource Geophysics at ETH Zurich.
Thomas Hudson’s research, for which he was awarded the ERC Starting Grant “Illuminating Ice Dynamics with Emerging Seismic Technology (IceDEST)”, focuses on understanding the processes governing the evolution of glaciers and ice sheets, especially in the context of global warming and rising sea levels. He employs methods originally developed for medical ultrasonic tomography and characterising major earthquakes, using the latest fibre optic sensors.
By appointing Thomas Hudson, the Department of Earth and Planetary Sciences is strengthening its leading role in the field of environmental geophysics and facilitating a wide range of synergies.
Prof. Thomas Hudson took up the Assistant Professorship of Environmental and Resource Geophysics at ETH Zurich on 1 July 2026.
