معرفی
Jonathan Nyquist is a Professor of Geophysics in the Department of Earth and Environmental Science at Temple University, part of the College of Science and Technology. His research focuses on applying geophysical methods to environmental and engineering challenges, particularly in the upper hundred meters of the subsurface. Key projects include monitoring hyporheic zones, seepage dynamics, and urban stormwater systems using advanced geophysical techniques like electrical resistivity tomography and ground-penetrating radar. He currently leads two projects funded by the Pennsylvania Department of Transportation: evaluating green infrastructure and improving karst/sinkhole detection via seismic methods.
Professor Nyquist has held administrative roles, including Director of General Education, advocating for data-driven education reforms. His work integrates geoscience with interdisciplinary efforts to enhance student success and urban sustainability. He is affiliated with Temple’s Department of Earth & Environmental Science and maintains an active research website alongside Google Scholar publications. Office: Beury Hall Rm. 319; Email: jonathan.nyquist@temple.edu.
Recent research trends emphasize geophysical monitoring of environmental systems, with publications addressing bioinfiltration dynamics, sinkhole evaluation, and deicing salt impacts on urban soils. His work bridges applied geophysics with real-world challenges in infrastructure, hydrology, and education policy.
