VICKSBURG, Miss. - Following his six-month project with mentors from the U.S. Army Engineer Research and Development Center’s (ERDC) Geotechnical and Structures Laboratory, geophysicist Matthew Glover with the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers (USACE) St. Louis District presented his research results virtually at the ERDC University (ERDC-U) graduation ceremony Sept. 15, 2022.
Glover’s project entailed learning seismic field data acquisition processes for geotechnical applications and developing methods for setup and data collection using different seismic arrays. He developed tools to use in his district for delineation and risk management through his understanding of what seismic method is appropriate based on the geology and problem to be solved.
Sponsored by ERDC’s Office of Research and Technology Transfer and the Directorate of Human Capital, ERDC-U partners USACE division and district participants with the center’s subject-matter experts to apply and implement technical solutions during a six-month session.
Applications are now open through Dec. 09, 2022 for ERDC-U’s 2023 session at: https://wiki.erdc.dren.mil/ERDC_University.
