معرفی
David Eaton is a Professor and former NSERC/Chevron Industrial Research Chair in Microseismic System Dynamics at the University of Calgary's Department of Geoscience. He holds a PhD in Geophysics from the University of Calgary (1992) and has published the textbook 'Passive Seismic Monitoring of Induced Seismicity'.
Educational Background:
- PhD Geophysics, University of Calgary, 1992
- MSc Geophysics, University of Calgary, 1988
- BSc Geology and Physics, Queen's University, 1984
His research focuses on induced seismicity characterization, microseismic monitoring technology development, distributed acoustic sensing applications, physics-informed machine learning approaches, and lithospheric structure analysis. Current projects investigate earthquake triggering mechanisms during hydraulic fracturing and geothermal energy development.
Publications show consistent focus on induced seismicity source characterization, monitoring methodologies, and geophysical applications for energy resource development. Recent work integrates machine learning with seismic monitoring to understand geological controls on induced seismicity.
Scientific Awards:
