Research interests: Tjaart joined Mines from the Applied Geophysics group at the Institute of Mine Seismology. His primary research focus is on the further development of time-lapse monitoring of velocity variations using seismic interferometry in various industrial applications, most notably tailings storage facilities. Tjaart is also involved in further research in industrial applications of seismic interferometry, for example, surface wave tomography for passive seismic exploration.

Mert is interested in seismic imaging studies. His desire is to come up with novel approaches to exploration problems.




Yanhua is interested in time-lapse seismic imaging and. She is currently working on time-lapse full-waveform inversion.





Patipan (Mickey) Saengduean
PhD student
psaengduean@mines.edu
Patipan Saengduean CV
Advisor: Roel Snieder

Patipan’s research interests are microseismisity and seismic interferometry. He is currently working on the applications of the virtual seismic method (VSM) to obtain wave responses (Green’s function) and to hopefully obtain geo-mechanical properties within different source scenarios (e.g., subduction earthquakes and micro-earthquakes induced by fluid injections).




Sagar is currently working on Full Waveform Inversion(FWI) for Reservoir Characterization with the idea to constraint FWI work-flow using rock physics relationship with elastic properties to provide very high resolution image in depth domain. He is currently working with Elastic VTI model and will extend it to an elastic orthorhomic model in future. He also intends to do targeted reservoir parameter inversion using local solvers in time domain.




Cullen collaborates with USGS and CWP in his research. The goal is to examine a large-scale DAS VSP dataset from the Alaska North Slope with the aim of better understanding the time-lapse rock physics and seismic properties of hydrate production. To do this we are utilizing synthetic acoustic and elastic RTM as well as least-squares RTM to image and estimate subsurface properties. Finally, these techniques will be applied to the DAS VSP field data to constrain the baseline subsurface properties.
