Joining us for the 9th edition of our special Quarantine Series is geological engineer Wade Johnson in Boulder, Colorado.
After studying nuclear engineering at the University of California Berkeley (known as UC Berkeley, or just “Berkeley”) he changed course and graduated with a degree in geology focusing on it economic aspects.
He then went to work as a seismologist at the Berkeley Seismological Lab in their borehole seismology group. For the past 16 years he has worked on the Plate Boundary Observatory installing borehole strainmeters and seismometers. He has worked on projects in the field of remote sensing in North America, Turkey, Central America, the Caribbean, and India.
