Staff profiles
Elisabetta D'AnastasioScience Operations Technical Lead
Biography
Science Operations Technical Lead within the Data Science and Geohazards Monitoring Department. Before moving to New Zealand in 2013, she worked at the National Earthquake Center of the Italian Institute of Geophysics and Volcanology (INGV). After a PhD on vertical deformation from geologic and geodetic levelling data in Italy, she focused her work on operational geodesy for geohazards monitoring, and led projects to modernize the GeoNet GNSS data collection and processing systems, the GNSS network scientific equipment, contributed to geodetic studies for large earthquakes, volcano and landslide emergency response and slow slip event monitoring. In 2021 she started focussing her work on operational and data science, data interoperability and geophysical data and metadata management.
