Guest Speaker: Jeffrey Perez, M.Eng.

This episode highlights the research of Mr. Perez on the prehistoric earthquakes from the Surigao segment of the Philippine Fault.

Mr. Jeffrey S. Perez is a licensed geologist and a Supervising Science Research Specialist at PHIVOLCS. He is a graduate of BS Geology from the UP Diliman and gained a Master of Engineering Major in Civil and Environmental Engineering from Saitama University, Japan. He has also taken graduate school units at Kyoto University, Japan. He was a recipient of the 2017 Outstanding Young Scientists Award by the National Academy of Science and Technology, Philippines (NAST, Ph) and the DOST International Publication Award (2015, 2018, 2021 and 2023). In 2018, he was one of the eight (8) Filipinos who were part of the Asian Scientist 100 list. Currently, he supervises the Disaster Risk Reduction Research and Development Section of PHIVOLCS.

👤Guest Speaker: Raquel Felix, PhD

This episode highlights the work of Dr. Raquel Felix on modelling the tsunami scenarios in Lombok and Bali, Indonesia.

Dr. Felix is a Postdoctoral Research Fellow in the Coastal Lab at the Earth Observatory of Singapore, Nanyang Technological University (NTU), Singapore. She completed her PhD in 2023 at NTU, within the Asian School of the Environment (ASE). Her research focuses on tsunami hazard assessment through modeling and the development of user-friendly applications for tsunami modeling. Raquel holds a BSc and MSc in Geology from the University of the Philippines (UP) Diliman. During her Master's studies, she worked as a Science Research Specialist in the Nationwide Operational Assessment of Hazards Project (Project NOAH) at UP.

A native of Iloilo, Dr. John Dale Dianala is an Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines - National Institute of Geological Sciences. His research focuses on understanding where, how often, and why earthquakes happen by studying how tectonic faults accumulate and release stress. He primarily works with satellite radar (InSAR) and GPS data to map and model earthquake sources and the seismic cycle, and high-resolution digital elevation models to tease out the 'scars' of past earthquakes in the landscape. JD also uses remote sensing data in aid of earthquake quick response. He obtained his Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees in Geology at UP Diliman, and his PhD in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford in 2021. Aside from his research, JD takes watching films very seriously.
