Mine Dogan

Dr. Mine Dogan serves as Assistant Professor of Environmental Geophysics in the Department of Geological and Environmental Sciences at Western Michigan University, with her office located in 1121 Rood Hall (Kalamazoo, MI). She holds a Ph.D. from Michigan State University (2013) and previously held research positions at Clemson University's Department of Environmental Engineering and Earth Sciences.

Education:

• Ph.D., Michigan State University, 2013

Her research integrates geophysics, hydrology, and environmental engineering to investigate subsurface processes using advanced methodologies including drone-based electromagnetic surveys, time-lapse monitoring, and 4D X-ray computed tomography. Key focus areas include tree root hydrology, contaminant transport in groundwater, permafrost characterization, and macropore flow dynamics in heterogeneous soils.

Analysis of her recent publications (2018-2024) reveals strong emphasis on unmanned aerial systems for geophysical data acquisition, visualization of fluid transport mechanisms in porous media, and forensic/environmental applications of electromagnetic methods. Recurring themes include the role of biological structures in hydrological processes and innovative approaches to subsurface imaging.
