Michael Hedlin received his Ph.D. in Earth Sciences from the University of California, San Diego (1991). He is currently a research geophysicist and senior lecturer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography at The University of California, San Diego (UCSD). His research interests include the study of small-scale structure at the core- mantle boundary and within the
lower mantle, the use of seismic and acoustic energy for nuclear test-ban verification, the analysis of acoustic signals from large-scale atmospheric phenomena and other sources such as volcanoes. One of his main activities over the past several years has been the design, construction and operation of infrasound monitoring arrays in the United States and the Atlantic Ocean. He founded the Laboratory for Atmospheric Acoustics at UCSD in 2002 and currently serves as the chief editor of InfraMatics. He has twice been nominated as the outstanding undergraduate lecturer at the Scripps Institution of Oceanography. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union.
John V. Olson, received his B.A. (1963), M.S. (1964), and Ph.D. (1970) degrees from the University of California, Los Angeles. He joined the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska, in 1979 where he is now a Professor of Physics. His research interests have included the study of geomagnetic pul- sations at high latitudes associated with the night side aurora and with the dayside magnetospheric boundaries. He has also
carried out ultra low frequency (ULF) and very low frequency (VLF) diagnostics for ionos- pheric heating programs. Recently he has conducted research in infrasound associat- ed with the Comprehensive Nuclear Test Ban Treaty pro- gram. His research has involved work in several areas of digital signal processing. He is a mem- ber of the American
Geophysical Union and the Acoustical Society of America.
Robert L. Woodward received
his Ph.D. in Earth Sciences
(1989) from the University of
California, San Diego. He is a
Systems Integration Manager
for Science Applications
International Corporation
(SAIC). His areas of expertise
include the analysis of seismic
and infrasound data, data fusion
for ground sensor networks, and
the development and integra-
tion of large-scale data processing and analysis systems. Prior to joining SAIC, Dr. Woodward managed a data col- lection center for the Global Seismographic Network at the U.S. Geological Survey’s Albuquerque Seismological Laboratory. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union.
