Seismic Soundoff

In this episode, host Andrew Geary speaks with Adam Mangel on June's The Leading Edge highlighting near-surface geophysics. Adam explains the reasons to study the near surface, why it applies to a wide-range of professionals, the practical applications for the field, and why more students should look to near-surface geophysics for their future.

Interviewee biography Adam Mangel is a Post-Doctoral Research Fellow at Colorado School of Mines. He has a B.S. in Geology with a minor in Mathematics from the University at Buffalo and an M.S. in Hydrogeology and a PhD in Environmental Engineering, both from Clemson University. His current research largely focuses on Hydrogeophysics, i.e. using geophysical methods to study hydrologic processes. Adam is driven to improve the world's efficacy as stewards of valuable water resources given the threats of climate change to clean wa
