B.A. Mathematics (Oxford University, 1978-1981)
Seismologist within the Dept. of Earth Sciences responsible for development and teaching of geophysics courses to geologists enrolled in undergraduate program. Graduate research program to identify hazardous shallow crustal faults in Pacific Northwest, to map the structures associated with megathrust plate boundary, and to understand the origin of local earthquakes. Continuing research in Archean tectonics using deep seismic reflection surveys.
Stanford University (Stanford, U.S.A.: 2004-2005)
Sabbatical Visiting Professor working on seismic reflection and refraction survey to constrain evolution of Marianas active volcanic arc.
Exploration geophysicist specialising in use of 3-D seismic surveys for the definition of hydrocarbon reservoirs in the post–Devonian stratigraphy of southern Alberta.
Research Fellow responsible for research and teaching in applied seismology. Projects involved the exploration of hard-rock mining camps, acquisition (western Québec), processing and interpretation of deep crustal seismic surveys, and the development of new seismic migration, and modeling software.
District Geophysicist, first for Côte d'Ivoire, Cameroun and Gabon, and later for Algeria. Responsible for design, processing and interpretation of 3-component borehole seismic surveys, and their correlation with borehole logs and surface seismic surveys.
Izaac Walton Killam Memorial Postdoctoral Fellow. Acquisition of crustal reflection and refraction data (Beaufort Sea and onshore/offshore western Canada). Interpretation of offshore reflection profiles. Development of seismic applications for multiple suppression, high resolution velocity estimation, and amplitude (AVO) analysis.
