JOHN V. OLSON

Professor of Physics

University of California at Los Angeles '63, B.A., '64, M.S. '70, Ph.D.

Dr. Olson joined the Geophysical Institute in 1979. His research interests have included the study of geomagnetic pulsations at high latitudes associated with the nightside aurorae and with the dayside magnetospheric boundaries. He also has carried out programs of ULF and VLF diagnostics for ionospheric heating programs and has a strong interest in digital signal analysis. He is a member of the American Geophysical Union and the American Association for the Advancement of Science.

CURT A. L. SZUBERLA

Assistant Professor of Physics

United States Military Academy, B.S., Engineering Physics, 1986; University of Alaska Fairbanks, Ph.D. 1997.

Dr. Szuberla joined the Geophysical Institute and the Physics Department of the University of Alaska Fairbanks in 2005. His research interests include atmospheric infrasound and digital signal processing. He studies various geophysical and man-made sources of infrasound and the array processing techniques required to detect and characterize them. His current projects center on infrasound-based nuclear explosion monitoring as part of the verification regime of the Comprehensive Nuclear-Test-Ban Treaty.

CHARLES R. WILSON

Professor of Physics Emeritus

Case Institute of Technology '51, B.S.; University of New Mexico '56, M.S.; University of Alaska '63, Ph.D.

Dr. Wilson joined the Geophysical Institute staff in 1951 to work on auroral research. He wintered over in Antarctica during the International Geophysical Year and participated in the 1600 mile Victoria Land traverse. He began infrasonic research in 1965 installing infrasonic arrays in Fairbanks, Palmer and Stevens Village in Alaska and at Inuvik in Canada, at Kiruna in Sweden, and at Windless Bight in Antarctica. His background includes research in glaciology, cosmic rays, and auroral-magnetic phenomena. His recent work concerns the study of infrasonic waves associated with the aurora, volcanic eruptions, earthquakes, and marine storms.
