Biography

Kate Selway is an Earth scientist with a keen interest in the composition and structure of the Earth's crust and upper mantle. Her primary expertise lies in geophysics, specifically magnetotellurics, a technique she uses to measure electrically conductive properties of the Earth’s interior to solve complex geophysical puzzles. Her research aims to integrate various types of data including seismic, geochemical, and experimental mineral physics data, to address critical questions concerning plate tectonics and the formation of mineral deposits. Recent studies have focused on mapping mantle hydrogen, modeling ore fluids, and understanding the impacts of melting ice sheets on tectonic processes. She collaborates with numerous researchers and institutions globally, including her role as an Adjunct Associate Research Scientist at Lamont Doherty Earth Observatory, Columbia University.
