Research

  • Near-surface applied geophysics 
  • Controlled-source electromagnetics
  • Ground-penetrating radar
  • Electrical resistivity tomography 
  • Archaeological, geotechnical and agricultural applications of geophysics
  • Geophysical responses of complex geological systems 
  • Inductive reasoning and time series analysis

Impact

Mark Everett's research focuses on near-surface applied geophysics, especially electromagnetic, ground-penetrating radar, electrical resistivity tomography and magnetics methods for solving environmental, engineering, archaeological, water, and natural resource and hazards problems. Current work includes both practical case studies, ecohydrogeophysical and cultural heritage projects, plus theoretical studies in fundamental topics such as long-range-dependent heterogeneity and non-equilibrium statistical mechanics. Teaching interests include applied geophysics instruction through traditional lectures and outdoor field experiences.
