A Team of American & Local Experts
OUR MANAGEMENT
Dr. Ismail is a seasoned professional with more than 25 years of extensive experience in the field of geophysics. He has successfully undertaken and completed over 100 impactful projects centered around critical areas such as geotechnical investigations, geological assessments, environmental analyses, groundwater studies, archaeological explorations, and oil exploration endeavors. With a wealth of expertise in the field, he boasts an impressive background in utilizing a multitude of geophysical techniques for data acquisition, processing, and interpretation. His proficiency extends to an array of cutting-edge methods, including, but by no means limited to seismic reflection and refraction, MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) and ReMi (Refraction Microtremor). Furthermore, he is well-versed in downhole seismic investigations, electrical resistivity surveys, and the application of IP (Induced Polarization), SP (Self-Potential), electromagnetic, and magnetic methods.

Neil Anderson, PhD
Chief Scientific Advisor
Dr. Anderson is a professor emeritus in geological engineering at Missouri University of Science & Technology (formerly UMR). He is internationally recognized for his expertise in engineering geophysics. Neil routinely acquires shallow geophysical data in support of geotechnical, geohydrologic, structural, pavement, bridge deck, utility and archeological investigations. His crews utilize the following tools: electrical resistivity tomography (land and marine), induced polarization, self-potential, ground conductivity, metal detectors, ground penetrating radar, surface waves (MASW and ultrasonic), impact echo, pachometers, reflection seismic, refraction seismic, echo sounding, sub-bottom profiling, and sidescan sonar. Neil worked for ten years in the oil and gas industry.
