Prof Michael Asten - Researcher Profile
Address
School of GeosciencesBuilding 28, Clayton
Biography
Michael works in the School of Geosciences at Monash University as a Professorial Fellow
Michael’s research areas of interest are:
- Electromagnetic methods in mineral exploration, including the detection and characterisation of
weakly conducting, economically important sphalerite-galena ore deposits. - The improvement of electromagnetic sounding methods in the presence of polarisable earth
(often associated with near-surface clays). - Use of microtremors in earthquake hazard site zonation.
- Collaborative projects in place with the US Geological Survey, the Middle Eastern
- Technological University, Ankara, Turkey, and the University of Utah, for development of
interpretation methodologies for the multiple-mode spatially-averaged coherency method in microtremor
observations for earthquake hazard site zonation. - Inter-relationship between atmospheric carbon dioxide and global temperature change.
- Consultant geophysicist in electrical and electromagnetic methods for airborne, ground and borehole
search for base-metal mineral deposits:image-processing presentations for geological mapping. - Extraction and presentation of physical parameters (eg. conductance, conductivity) from profile and
areal data. - Application of advanced numerical modelling and inversion algorithms to field data.
