Junior Geophysicist
Nicholas joined DMT Geosciences Ltd. in May 2024 after completing his B.SC. in Honours Earth Sciences with a Specialization in Geophysics. Nicholas specializes in time-domain electromagnetic and magnetic geophysical data having completed an honours undergraduate thesis analyzing the geophysical characteristics of 2 thrust faults to interpret the structural and hydrogeological properties of the faults. This led to Nicholas being published as a co-author on the project Assessing the Impact of Fault Structures on Regional Aquifer-Aquitard Continuity using Airborne, Surface, and Borehole Geophysical Methods. Since joining DMT Geosciences Ltd., Nicholas has been a part of ground frequency-domain electromagnetic, electrical resistivity, ground penetrating radar and seismic surveys along with both marine resistivity and seismic reflection surveys while leading the crews too.
