Welcome to the Geophysics Blog

 Welcome

As I type this there is nothing, this is the beginning. 

The aim for this blog is to pull together all of my thoughts on the world of geophysics, but who knows where this will go. If you are reading this in a few years time and all there is is this one page then I am sorry, life must have happened. On the other hand as you read this maybe there are numerous posts about all things geophysics, comical debates, internet trolls, and thought provoking articles, outdated references to fads such as "planking", "fidget spinners", "drone based surveys" and "digital twins"... who knows what else...

My first piece of advice along this path will be don't ask ChatGPT what a geophysics blogger looks like 😉


So what is this blog all about then? and who is it for? 

Well we are going to be focusing on near surface geophysics, that's right up yours big oil!, and by starting from first principles we are going to peer into the ways geophysics has been and is still being used to image the subsurface. 

This blog is for everyone! Regardless if you have never heard of geophysics before or if you have three PHD's and a two gold stars from MIT and LittleKids Pre-Primary respectively.  

So hang around, who knows you may learn something, I certainly will.
