Seismologist
Core
Lead the design, deployment, and processing of surface and borehole seismic monitoring networks to create a high-precision earthquake catalog for Enhanced Geothermal Systems (EGS) development.
Role type
Senior Seismologist (EGS/Geothermal)
Builds
High-precision earthquake catalogs, fracture-network characterizations, and reservoir models for utility-scale geothermal projects.
Domain
Geothermal energy, induced seismicity, reservoir engineering
Deliverable
production ML models
Required skills
HypoDD, GrowClust, seismic network design, instrument calibration, waveform cross-correlation, velocity modeling, source parameter determination, DAS integration
Preferred skills
Distributed Acoustic Sensing (DAS) expertise, fiber-optic sensing
Technologies
HypoDD, GrowClust, three-component geophones, broadband seismometers, DAS systems
Responsibilities
Design and deploy surface and borehole geophone and seismometer networks; Run HypoDD for double-difference relocation and GrowClust for clustering; Generate waveform cross-correlation differential travel times; Determine source parameters including magnitude and focal mechanism; Interpret relocated seismicity as fracture geometry and fault reactivation; Incorporate DAS data alongside conventional sensor networks.
Seniority
