Warm welcome to Peter!
Peter La Femina is Senior Scientist in the Geophysics Group at the AWI and is permanently dispatched to our department. A former Full Professor at The Pennsylvania State University, Peter has made seminal contributions to the fields of tectonics and volcanology. He strives to better understand tectonic and magmatic processes at active plate boundaries and their impact on society by combining terrestrial and satellite geodetic techniques with geophysical, geochemical, and geologic data.
