Isabelle Lecomte

Isabelle Lecomte is a Professor in Reservoir and Near-Surface Geophysics at the University of Bergen's Department of Earth Science. Her research focuses on seismic modeling, reservoir characterization, and near-surface geophysics, with applications to paleokarst reservoirs, fault zone analysis, and archaeological geophysics. She has supervised numerous master's theses and contributed to projects funded by the Research Council of Norway. Her work integrates field observations, numerical modeling, and geophysical data interpretation to advance understanding of subsurface structures and processes.

• Affiliations: Department of Earth Science, University of Bergen
• Research Groups: Geodynamics and Basin Studies

Research Interests:

• Development of seismic modeling techniques for reservoir characterization and near-surface imaging
• Application of ground-penetrating radar (GPR) in archaeology and environmental studies
• Seismic expression of faults, sand injectites, and carbonate systems
• Paleokarst reservoir dynamics and flow simulation

Publications: Over 30 peer-reviewed articles focus on seismic modeling, subsurface imaging, and geohazard assessment. Recent work emphasizes 3D/4D seismic interpretation, fault zone analysis, and outcrop-subsurface analogues.

Grants & Awards: Involved in projects funded by the Research Council of Norway, including studies on paleokarst reservoirs and CO2 storage feasibility.

Advising: Supervised 14 master's students, with thesis topics ranging from seismic attribute analysis in archaeology to reservoir characterization of paleokarst systems.
