Roy A. Johnson

Professor, Reflection Seismology

Reflection seismology applied to analysis and modeling of complex crustal structure, composition and physical properties of the crust and upper mantle, processes of crustal extension, and energy exploration. Multicomponent seismic reflection data acquisition, processing and interpretation. High-resolution seismic techniques applied to fossil-fuel exploration and groundwater and environmental geology.
