Returning to her research after a 3-year break, Daisy’s Fellowship is entitled: “Mapping recent movement rates along active faults in the Kathmandu Valley before and after the 2015 Gorkha earthquake.” Daisy’s research uses a remote satellite sensing technique called Interferometic Synthetic Aperture Radar (InSAR) to map the recent fault movement in the Kathmandu Valley, home to 2.5 million people, with the goal of understanding the relationship between natural and human created fault movement and contributing to early earthquake warning in urban areas.
