Research Interest:

  • Cost-effective detection of sub-Fresnel scale mineral targets (e.g., massive sulphide bodies) in mining exploration.
  • Lithospheric-scale imaging of the Earth using wide-angle seismic data, e.g., crustal structure beneath ORZ.
  • Ground penetrating radar, seismic reflection and refraction profiling, resistivity, gravity & magnetics in support of geotechnical investigations and mining.
