Areas of Interest

Geomechanics, Gravity and Magnetics, Environmental Geophysics

Research

A few of my recent or current research projects include:

Monitoring of artificial aquifer recharge using microgravity. Repeated microgravity surveys have been used to help define underground conduits in a karst aquifer in southwestern Oklahoma.
Analysis of the hundreds of Oklahoma earthquakes recorded in the last ten years to delineate causative structures and investigate possible relationships between oil field activity and microseismicity.
Investigation of the Ames Meteorite Impact Structure in northern Oklahoma, using gravity and magnetics methods.
Suominet Geodetic GPS Project.
