Investigating the underlying causes of earthquakes by studying the deep Earth structure (Crust, Mantle, Core) through receiver function analysis, seismic tomography, surface wave dispersion, and shear wave splitting to assess anisotropy.
Identifying short-term earthquake precursors through the analysis of multi-parametric geophysical data and ionospheric anomalies derived from space-based observations.
