Helen Morán
Helen Morán is a researcher at the Servicio Sismológico de Guatemala, where she focuses on the study of seismic activity and tectonic processes. In a recent news article, she emphasized that current scientific methods do not allow for the prediction of earthquakes, as the complexities of the Earth's interior remain largely unobservable. Her work involves utilizing indirect geophysical methods to better understand seismic waves and the Earth's structure, contributing to the ongoing efforts to improve earthquake response and preparedness in Guatemala.
