Applied geophysics is the study of how the Earth works and what it's made of. Scientists called geophysicists use this knowledge to explore what's under the ground, check for dangers like earthquakes, ...

Scientists have recently introduced a new method called ambient noise differential adjoint tomography, which allows researchers to visualise rocks with fluids better, leading to potential advancements ...

Geophysics is the application of the methods and techniques of physics in the study of the Earth. It differs from Geology in that a geologist studies rocks and structures, which can be seen, while a ...

Velocity is a fundamental property of rocks that depends on density and elastic moduli. It varies laterally as well as vertically due to the physical-geologic variations of rocks. Velocities are ...

One of the remarkable aspects of science is its ability to extend our sense of perception beyond touch and sight, often using the information provided by the "scattering" of waves. A group of ...

I am a geophysicist with a background in mathematics and statistics. My research interests are: rock physics, seismic reservoir characterization, inverse problems, and geostatistics. These are the ...
