About Ritima

Dr. Ritima Das is an Assistant Professor in the Department of Earth Sciences at Pondicherry University. She holds a PhD in Shear wave velocity and anisotropy of crust beneath south India from CSIR-NGRI Hyderabad, awarded in 2016. As a seismologist, her research is aimed at understanding the complex structure of the Earth from the crust down to the transition to the asthenosphere and the deep mantle, encompassing present-day to ancient processes. She investigates the evolution and formation processes of continents and oceans using advanced geophysical tools, including high-resolution tomographic imaging via ambient noise and passive seismology, joint tomography of body and surface waves, receiver functions, joint inversions of surface waves and receiver functions or body and surface waves, crustal and mantle anisotropy, deep mantle mineralogy, and attenuation. Her research interests encompass seismology, tectonics, geophysical data modeling, inverse theory and its applications, and deep Earth mineralogy and attenuation.
