Dr. David E. Lumley is a Professor of Earth Sciences, and Physics, at the University of Texas at Dallas; he is the Cecil and Ida Green Endowed Chair in Geophysics, Department Head of Sustainable Earth Systems Sciences, and Director of the Seismic Imaging and Inversion Lab. Previously he was Professor, Chair in Geophysics, and founding Director of the Center for Energy Geoscience, jointly appointed to the School of Physics & Astrophysics, and School of Earth & Environment, at the University of Western Australia. Dr. Lumley has also held academic positions at Stanford and USC, and has served as an Advisor to the US National Academy of Sciences. Prof Lumley has been a Principal Investigator on over $135 Million in competitive research grants, and has co-authored over 250 peer-reviewed journal papers and conference abstracts, in Nature Communications, Reviews of Geophysics, Geophysical Research Letters, Classical & Quantum Gravity, SRL, JGR Solid Earth, GJI, Geophysics, and others resulting in 3,650+ citations, an h-index of 28, and eight (8) Best Paper awards to date. He has been the recipient of multiple awards and honors, including SEG's inaugural J. Clarence Karcher Award for his pioneering contributions to the development of 4D Time-Lapse Seismology, and has served as a Distinguished Lecturer and Instructor for four (4) scientific societies. Dr. Lumley has a PhD in Geophysics from Stanford University, and BSc (Hons) and MSc degrees in Geophysics & Astronomy at the University of British Columbia. David’s management experience includes various academic positions as Department Head, Chair, and Research Center Director; and industry positions as founder and leader of the 4D Seismic research group at Chevron Research, and founder and CEO of 4th Wave Imaging Corp (a technology startup company purchased by Fugro www.fugro.com in 2007). David’s expertise includes wave-theoretic imaging and inversion, especially 3D seismic imaging, 4D time-lapse monitoring, and inverse theory estimation of physical properties in the earth and oceans, combining innovative physics, advanced data science analysis, and high performance computing. His research interests include wavefield data recorded with 'Large N' sensor arrays, using manmade sources, or natural sources such as earthquakes and ambient seismic noise. Applications include imaging and time-lapse monitoring of the earth’s subsurface, natural resources, energy, water, fluid flow, CO2 injection and storage, natural and induced earthquake seismicity, and astrophysical gravitational waves; covering a broad range of scales including the near-surface “critical zone”, oceans, sediments, deep aquifers and reservoirs, subduction zones, tectonic crust and mantle, planets and moons, and astrophysics.
