Dr. Mark E. Everett is a Professor of Geology and Geophysics at Texas A&M University. After finishing the PhD degree at the University of Toronto in 1991 in the area of marine controlled-source electromagnetic geophysics, he completed a pair of two 2-year post-doctoral appointments at Scripps Institution of Oceanography at the University of California San Diego and Institute of Theoretical Geophysics at University of Cambridge, U.K. Dr. Everett joined the Texas A&M faculty as an Assistant Professor in 1995, was promoted to Associate Professor with tenure in 1997, and promoted again to full Professor in 2003. In 2002, Dr. Everett was awarded a Texas A&M Faculty Fellowship. Currently, he serves on the Editorial Boards of two leading international journals, Geophysics and Geophysical Journal International. Dr. Everett is a registered State of Texas Professional Geoscientist, No. 5141.

Dr. Everett's research interests are primarily in near-surface applied geophysics for environmental and engineering applications. His specialty is electrical and electromagnetic methods, although he has published in magnetics, resistivity, seismic and ground-penetrating radar. In recent years, Dr. Everett has played a leadership role in several large projects. He was the Principal Investigator on a 2002 U.S. Department of Defense SERDP grant to develop a prototype multi-receiver electromagnetic induction instrument for improved classifcation and discrimination of subsurface unexploded ordnance (UXO). As co-PI on a 2006 grant from the American Battle Monuments Commission, Dr. Everett was the Geophysics Team Leader responsible for conducting 3-D electrical resistivity tomography experiments to assess the geological stability of the chalk cliffs at the historic WWII D-Day invasion site at Pointe du Hoc, Normandy, France.
