Exploration Geophysics

More clean and sustainable energy to run the world

Exploration geophysics is an applied branch of geophysics. It aims to explore the first few kilometers of the earth’s crust by identifying rock and/or fuild types and structures. The ability to do this is very invaluable in the exploration for oil and gas, and in the mining and construction industries. Full waveform inversion is a recent hot topic in seismic exploration. We have special interests in conducting full waveform modelling and imaging studies of hydraulic fracturing for unconventional oil & gas exploration.
