Senior Geophysicist
Jane has extensive experience processing and interpreting many types of geophysical data. She has been involved with a wide variety of projects, including identifying and mapping aquifer facies with GPR, designing and building a borehole probe for measuring magnetic susceptibility, inverting and interpreting airborne EM data, and processing and interpreting marine seismic surveys. Recently she has been working on multi-survey interpretations and in the inversion of airborne and ground TEM data using the UBC GIF inversion code. Jane has a BSc (Engineering Physics) and MSc (Engineering) from Queen’s University, and a PhD in Geophysics from the University of British Columbia.
Geophysicist
Adam completed his BSc. in Geophysics from the University of Calgary in 2008. Adam brought significant work experience with seismic geophysical software to DMT Geosciences Ltd. when he joined in 2010. Now his expertise also includes acquisition, processing and interpretation of Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI), capacitively coupled resistivity (OhmMapper), fixed frequency electromagnetic methods (e.g. EM31), seismic methods and Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) among others. He has applied these methods in remediation and reclamation environmental applications, permafrost mapping, bedrock characterization, groundwater detection, and near surface gravel/sand resource identification.
Adam also enjoys leading a healthy lifestyle including activities such as hiking and golfing.
Geophysicist
Drew obtained a B.Sc. in Geophysics from the University of Calgary in 2010. Drew is an expert in conducting and processing time domain electromagnetic (TEM) surveys. Since joining DMT in 2011 Drew has been undertaking seismic and TEM surveys for mapping stratigraphy as part of risk and water management investigations at oil sands mine sites. He is also familiar with data acquisition, processing and interpretation of fixed frequency electromagnetic (EM31 & EM38), magnetics, ground penetrating radar (GPR), capacitively-coupled resistivity and electrical resistivity (ERI) as part of geo-technical and environmental geophysical surveys.
A cool fact about Drew is that he enjoys archery and other target sports.
Project Manager
Ross heads up our Kamloops office in British Columbia. He has been active in the exploration industry since graduating from UBC in 2006. He is especially familiar with acquisition and processing 2D Seismic refraction surveys, small scale 2D Marine sub-bottom profiling surveys, MASW surveys, and both ground and marine DC/IP surveys.
MATT NAIDEN, B.SC.
Project Manager
Matt has been working for DMT as a field geophsysicist and processor since 2017. After graduating from from University of Calgary in 2010 , he worked as a seismic interpretation consultant working on exploration stage projects for oil and gas, mining and potash companies. At DMT Matt has developed extensive experience in a wide range of shallow geophyics including TEM, seismic and marine methods. He specialises in borehole geophysics, both acquisition and processing.
Geophysicist in Training
Ashlee is a new graduate from the University of Calgary where she completed her M.Eng. in Environmental Engineering and B.Sc. in Geophysics. She gained experience with a variety of geophysical methods in University including seismic reflection and refraction, ground penetrating radar, and electrical resistivity imaging (ERI).
Ashlee enjoys volunteering in the Geoscience community; she sits on the executive committee for the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists (CSEG) Mentorship Foundation and is also part of the GeoWomen team.
Geophysicist in Training
Before joining DMT in 2023, Justin's early career was spent in remote locations across North America. He has experience in the acquisition and processing of a range of geophysical methods, including Gravity, Magnetic, DC/IP, VLF, Electrical Resistivity Imaging (ERI), Seismic Refraction, and Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW). He holds a B.Sc in Geophysics from the University of Calgary (2021).
In his free time Justin enjoys spending time golfing, hiking and skiing.
DMT Geosciences Ltd. (DMT or the “Company”) has a Permit to Practice (P-09454) issued by the Association of Professional Engineers and Geoscientists of Alberta (APEGA). As of February, 2003 section 48(1)(d) of the Engineering and Geoscience Professions Regulations under the Engineering and Geosciences Professions Actrequires all APEGA permit holders to develop and maintain a Professional Practice Management Plan (PPMP) that is appropriate to their areas of practice.
The PPMP is a written description of corporate policies, procedures and systems used to ensure that appropriate standards of professional practice are maintained. it is a management tool that documents a permit holder’s procedures for planning, implementing, documenting and assessing the effectiveness of activities that constitute the Company’s scope of practice.
DMT Geosciences’ PPMP incorporates by reference all of DMT and its shareholder policies governing safety, ethics, risk management, authority limits and professional development.
DMT Geosciences Ltd. operates across Canada and internationally and is committed to ensuring its clients obtain appropriate professional advice from its staff. We ensure that all professional staff are registered or licensed to practice in the jurisdictions in which they live or work. This PPMP describes DMT policy as it relates to our practice of engineering and geoscience.
DMT Geosciences Ltd. (DMT or the “Company”) is committed to a high standard of achievement in a health and safety program that protects our employees and their families, the general public, the environment and our property and that of our clients. Employees at every level are responsible and accountable for DMT’s health and safety performance.
