Samuel Howell completed his dissertation defense on Nov. 15, wrapping up his work at U Hawaii SOEST. Next he moves to Pasadena for post-doc work at JPL where he will work on the Europa mission.
Well done! Congratulations!
Europa, JPL, geophysics in Europa, Geophysics July 27, 2016 The EM-31 is an excellent tool when the depth of interest < 6 meters. Here it is coupled with a DGPS receiver to provide very rapid mapping even when on foot.
This survey mapped near-surface chlorides (high electrical conductivity) and deep utility corridors that serve as possible migration pathways. Results shown >here<
Action pose during data collection. Good conditioning prior to our Wales Coastal Path hike.
EM, geophysics in E/M, Geophysics, Mapping June 24, 2016 Howell et al find a coherent pattern of uplift and subsidence straddling the San Andreas fault system in southern California using vertical velocities derived from global positioning system data, improving the quantification of seismic hazards in southern California and beyond.

Sam Howell's research of San Andreas fault system earned a spot in the 2016 Popular Mechanics Breakthrough Awards!
earthquake, geophysics, seismology, statistics in Geophysics, Mapping, seismology, tectonics July 20, 2015 Attended an excellent workshop in earthquake seismology for engineering applications. Offered by ASCE and presented by Dr. Praveen Malhotra, PE. All continuing education should be this caliber!
