Anya Marie Reading is a professor of Geophysics and Associate Head of Research in the School of Natural Sciences, University of Tasmania.
[2] Reading continues to focus on Southern Hemisphere continental lithosphere, with emphasis on Australia and Antarctica, and technique development in seismology and computational physical sciences.
Reading's career includes multiple field seasons in Antarctica and Australia[3][4] which expanded the seismic data available for these regions through the deployment of temporary networks of instruments.
[5] In 2014, she led research at the University of Tasmania that developed earthquake technology to track deep ocean storms,[6] which "play a key role in global climate".
[12] In 2017, Reading became the first female Professor of Geophysics in Australia and also undertook research visits in connection with the award of a Fulbright Senior Scholarship.
