Environmental Research

Environmental geophysics research couples field and laboratory studies with sophisticated modeling and interpretation methods. Current research projects include:

Mapping of Contaminant Plumes by the Induced Polarization Method
Mapping of Cavities using Ground Penetrating Radar
Resistivity Imaging as a Tool for Geothermal Exploration
Resistivity Imaging as a Tool for Water Prospecting
Self Potential Imaging as a Tool for Subsurface Gas Characterization

Other projects include GPR imaging of the near surface and electrokinetic applications. We have worked in a variety of field locations, including St. Lucia, Barbados, Savannah River, Oakridge National Lab, Cape Cod, and the greater Boston area.
