Brad Carr

Dr. Brad Carr, who obtained his Ph.D. degree in Geophysics at the University of Wyoming in crustal reflection seismology, is a Sr. Research Scientist in the department of Geology and Geophysics and Director of the Univ. of Wyoming Near-Surface Geophysics Instrument Center (UWNSG). His research and career have focused on the integrated use & development of near-surface geophysical methodologies to understand near-surface material geophysical properties (i.e., petrophysics), groundwater recharge/movement in mountain headwater environments, hydrothermal and geothermal areas, contaminated (or threatened) municipal aquifers, mineral deposits, and the Earth’s 'Critical Zone'. Currently, he has multiple ongoing critical zone and hydrogeophysical research projects in & around the U.S. in crystalline units (primarily granites and metagranites), schists, basalts, rhyolites and tuffs), Yellowstone National Park geyser & phase separation systems, as well as geophysical characterization and monitoring of Uranium depositional and roll front deposits in Wyoming, USA.
