Short Bio
Dr. Adam Schultz, Professor in the Geology & Geophysics Disciplinary Group at the College of Earth, Ocean, and Atmospheric Sciences, Oregon State University. He has also served in various administrative and advisory capacities, including briefing the NSA and testifying before the US Congress. He’s held faculty positions at the University of Washington, Cambridge and Cardiff, where he was Head of School. He was a Program Director at the National Science Foundation, and he heads Enthalpion Energy, a geophysical company. Professor Schultz recently completed an 18 year-long project that imaged the geoelectric structure of the conterminous USA. Prof. Schultz has an extensive record of peer-reviewed journal articles, including 5 notable publications in Nature and Nature Geoscience. His research interest are geophysics and application of multidisciplinary methods to tectonic and geodynamic investigations; mitigation of vulnerabilities to critical infrastructure from space weather, seismic and anthropogenic events; geothermal and wave energy research; geophysical inverse theory and signal analysis; large-scale computation; environmental site characterization; carbon sequestration; development of geophysical/geochemical/microbiological field instrumentation; physics and chemistry of hydrothermal systems and cold seeps and impacts on geomicrobiology; energy exploration technical and policy issues and patent law. Dr. Schultz has led significant projects in geophysical research, secured substantial funding from NSF, DOE, and NASA, and contributed to policy and advocacy efforts related to critical infrastructure and energy exploration.Education
