Jamie Ward

Jamie is a PhD student at the School of Earth & Environment, University of Leeds. His research project aims at developing and implementing a new seismic technique to quantify the level of refraction of the ray path and identify multipathing to constrain the location and properties of sharp velocity boundaries in the Earth's mantle. Whenever possible, Jamie is involved in some type of science outreach including Pint of Science, the after-school science club, and PubHD.

All blobs are equal, but some blobs are more interesting than other blobs. In this new Wit & Wisdom post, Jamie Ward, PhD student in seismology at the University of Leeds, United Kingdom, explores this age-old saying and discusses whether or not LLSVPs are the most important blobs in our lives. Also, there is a …[Read More]
