William P. Clement

William P. Clement is an Extension Associate Professor in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Massachusetts Amherst. His research focuses on near-surface geophysics and hydrogeophysics, particularly using Ground Penetrating Radar (GPR) and inverse methods to study subsurface processes. He holds a PhD from the University of Wyoming (1995) and has expertise in imaging soil moisture, contaminant flow, and subsurface uncertainty modeling. Clement's work bridges geophysics with environmental management, contributing to climate change and contaminant studies. He teaches geophysics and emphasizes critical thinking in scientific communication.

Education: PhD (University of Wyoming, 1995), MS (University of Montana, 1986), AB (Dartmouth College, 1979).

Research emphasizes time-lapse imaging, GPR tomography, and geostatistical inversion techniques. His publications span environmental geophysics, subsurface modeling, and GPR applications in hydrology and paleolake studies.

Awarded grants for Boise Hydrogeophysical Research Site studies and collaborative projects on aquifer characterization. Active in professional societies and science communication initiatives.
