Steven Gibbons

Senior Advisor, Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) (Earth sciences; Environmental sciences)

Oslo, Norway

I am currently working at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI) in Oslo. I have many years of experience in diverse challenges in applied geophysics ranging from computational fluid dynamics to seismology, signal propagation and signal processing, infrasound, inverse theory, and pattern recognition.
