Gerard Thomas Schuster
Professor, Earth Sciences and Engineering
Ph.D. Columbia University, 1984
M.S. Columbia University, 1982
Research Interests
Professor Schuster's research interests are in seismic imaging, interferometry, waveform inversion, EM methods, seismic field techniques, and the use of novel methods for super resolution imaging. His geophysical lab is equipped with state of the art seismographs for 624 channel recording and a 72-channel resistivity array for both exploration, engineering, and earthquake applications. Schuster has a strong interest in geophysical characterization of archaeological sites.
