Ep16 - Ground movement from the 2020 Masbate earthquake measured from satellites
Manage episode 450067536 series 3615367
Khelly is previously a part of the Volcano-Tectonics laboratory of UP-NIGS. He holds a graduate degree in Geology from the University of the Philippines, along with undergraduate degrees in Geology and Geological Engineering from Mapua Institute of Technology. Together with Dr. Mahar Lagmay and Dr. Sotiris Valkaniotis, they harnessed satellite data to quantify ground movements caused by the magnitude 6.6 earthquake on the Masbate Island in 2020. Currently, Khelly bridges theory and practice in the geotechnical and geospatial industries, where he continues to contribute to developing resilient infrastructure projects.
