Biography
Parker has over 8 years of experience in seismology and applied near surface geophysics. Since joining PNNL in 2018, his work has focused primarily on a PNNL science focus area supporting subsurface biogeochemical research and applying near surface geophysical methods for characterizing engineered soil barriers and deep vadose zone processes. Additionally, Parker focuses on microseismology with geothermal and mining applications.
