Anya Reading

Anya deploys the most remote seismic detectors on Earth. She records the seismic symphony of cracking and melting ice, revealing the hidden changes that are happening deep within Antarctic glaciers. Working with multiple geophysics data streams she uses advanced computing, including machine learning (a type of AI), to reveal other remote secrets. These include how the heat from deep rock formations is shaping the great ice sheets from below, and how Southern Ocean storms send a buzz right across vulnerable ice shelves.

About the BEAKER STREET ROVING SCIENTIST PROGRAM

Each August, hundreds of Roving Scientists descend upon Hobart, filling up pubs and chatting to strangers as part of Beaker Street Festival. Discover a new world down the lens of microscope, and joining the least-boring bar conversations you’ve ever heard and these free (the chats – not the drinks) events.

For Scientists, Beaker Street’s Roving Scientist Program offers an excellent outreach, professional development, and networking opportunity. It’s the nerdiest and funnest way to share your research with the public, expand your network, and be inspired by leaders in all sectors of science and science communication.
