Iwona Kudłacik was awarded a doctoral degree by Wrocław University of Environmental and Life Sciences on on 16th Nov 2023 for her impactful thesis, “Research on natural and anthropogenic seismicity with high-frequency GNSS observations.”
Supervised by Dr. Jan Kapłon and Dr. Grzegorz Lizurek, Kudłacik’s research, presented across four scientific publications, introduced methods to detect low-magnitude anthropogenic earthquakes using high-rate GNSS time series. Her innovative approach expanded GNSS seismology’s scope, particularly for mining-induced seismic events, beyond its traditional focus on large natural earthquakes or bridge vibrations.
Engaged in EPOS-PL, EPOS-PL+, and GATHERS projects, Kudłacik’s collaborations with Professor Mattia Crespi’s team at Sapienza University of Rome since 2019, along with two completed internships, enhanced her research prowess.
