Areas of interest
Erica Pietroniro is a seismologist specializing in geophysical hazard early warning systems and site characterization. Her research integrates seismo-acoustic, environmental, and remote sensing instrumentation to provide real-time alerts for landslides, avalanches, and volcanic activity at Q̓welq̓welústen / Mount Meager. She is also interested in the use of distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) for geophysical monitoring and alerting. Her previous experience includes research with Natural Resources Canada on the Canadian Earthquake Early Warning System, focusing on characterizing site amplification using horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (HVSR) and station magnitude residuals. Erica completed a bachelor’s of Nanotechnology Engineering at the University of Waterloo.
