Fieldwork &
geophysical surveys.

My field experience includes organising rock-sampling campaigns and using several geophysical methods to investigate the shallow subsurface.

International
field campaigns.

2025

Brazil

Organised and led a collaborative three-week palaeomagnetic campaign across northern and southern Brazil, coordinating sampling and logistics with international collaborators.

2022

Orkney, Scotland

Fieldwork with University of Oslo collaborators targeting Devonian volcanic rocks and Permo-Carboniferous lamprophyre dykes, including Kiaman Superchron material.

2019

Western Australia

Organised and led a collaborative three-week palaeomagnetic field campaign.

2017

Quebec, Canada

Participated in a two-week palaeomagnetic sampling campaign.

survey methods.

Geophysical survey methods and experience
MethodExperience
Ground penetrating radar200 / 400 MHz surveys for shallow subsurface imaging.
Electrical resistivity tomography64-electrode acquisition and inversion-based interpretation.

Electromagnetic conductivityEM31 acquisition for conductivity mapping.
Magnetic surveyingGradiometry and magnetic mapping for anomaly identification.

Survey planning
& interpretation.

  • Design surveys and acquisition lines around the question and the constraints of the site.
  • Check repeatability, identify noise and validate measurements during acquisition.
  • Document metadata, site conditions, assumptions and survey limitations.
  • Compare the findings from different survey techniques.
  • Prepare plans, sections and profiles, and explain the processing steps and limits of the interpretation.

Processing tools.

Working knowledge of Res2Inv for resistivity inversion, SeisImager for seismic workflows, and GPR-Slice and MATGPR for radar processing and visualisation.

Python, Excel and geospatial tools support data handling, validation and clear technical figures. Commercial experience includes a geophysics internship at ESG Geophysical Surveying in 2015.
