Thomas Daley

Thomas M. (Tom) Daley is currently a staff scientist in the Energy Geosciences Division of Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory. He has been with Berkeley Lab since 1987.  He received a Bachelors degree in Geophysics from the University of California, Berkeley in 1980 and a Masters degree in Engineering Geoscience from the University of California, Berkeley in 1987. He worked from 1980 to 1985 with Seismograph Service Corporation performing borehole seismic surveys and managing a district office in Ventura, CA.Tom's research work is focused on the acquisition and analysis of borehole seismic data from field scale experiments. Current research includes seismic monitoring using distributed acoustic sensing (DAS) on fiber optic cables and continuous active-source seismic monitoring (CASSM).  Problems addressed include continuous travel time monitoring to detect stress changes, monitoring geologic storage of CO2, characterization of subsurface fractures including geothermal and oil fields, high resolution imaging of shallow surface materials, imaging fracture flow zones in contaminated aquifers, and geophysical characterization of volcanic tuff flows for nuclear waste isolation at Yucca Mountain. Tom has contributed to over 50 peer-reviewed publications, and has been a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) since 1980, a member of the American Geophysical Union (AGU) since 1987, the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers (EAGE) since 2013, and is currently on the SEG Research Committee, and chair of the SEG CO2 research subcommittee.
