A native of Iloilo, Dr. John Dale Dianala is an Assistant Professor at the University of the Philippines - National Institute of Geological Sciences. His research focuses on understanding where, how often, and why earthquakes happen by studying how tectonic faults accumulate and release stress. He primarily works with satellite radar (InSAR) and GPS data to map and model earthquake sources and the seismic cycle, and high-resolution digital elevation models to tease out the 'scars' of past earthquakes in the landscape. JD also uses remote sensing data in aid of earthquake quick response. He obtained his Bachelors and Masters of Science degrees in Geology at UP Diliman, and his PhD in Earth Sciences from the University of Oxford in 2021. Aside from his research, JD takes watching films very seriously.
