Geophysics Expert Witnesses

Geophysics is the science that deals with the physics of the earth, including weather, tides, winds, earthquakes, volcanoes, and their effects on Earth. This science is necessary for studying energy, water, and resources, monitoring environmental impacts and changes, assessing materials, and man-made threats. The most common issues that geophysics experts lend their expertise to when retained are related to hydrology, geology, and geotechnical issues. Our geophysics experts have worked as engineers, construction consultants, geologists, oceanographers, environmental scientists, oil and gas executives, climate change consultants, professors, geoarchaeologists, and more. These experts specialize in:

Carbon sequestration
Oil and gas
Seismology
Magnetic geology
Regional geology
Gravity
Earth science
Advanced technologies
Natural hazards
Induced hazards
Induced seismicity
Polarization
Ground-penetrating radar
Electrical resistivity
Environmental assessment
Geo archaeology
Coastal systems
Seismic data licensing
Seismic data acquisition
Earthquake engineering

With hundreds of years of combined experience, our geophysics experts have successfully testified for both plaintiffs and defense in a variety of cases, and are prolific international authors and lecturers. Their published works span topics that include tectonic evolution, crustal margins, magnetic studies, mathematics, seismic properties of rocks, environmental geophysics, biogeophysics, hydrogeology, landscape change, coastal change, patent disputes, assessment of contaminated sites, ground-penetrating radar, and electromagnetic methods.
