NORSAR announces two postdoc positions in microseismic monitoring

Analysis of microseismic events within the GEISER-project

NORSAR offers a two-year PostDoc position on the analysis of microseismic events within the EU-project GEISER (Geothermal Engineering Integrated Mitigation of Induced Seismicity in Geothermal Reservoirs).

In this project the candidate will work with microseismic data sets from geothermal reservoirs. The development of a seismic velocity inversion method with application to microseismic data is the main objective. The tasks will also include an improvement of automatic microseismic event analysis such as source parameter determination and location methods.

Safety monitoring of CO₂ storages using microseismicity and 4D seismic modelling

NORSAR offers a three-year Post Doc position within the SafeCO₂ project (Safety Monitoring of CO₂ Storages Using Microseismicity and 4D Seismic Modelling) .
 
In this project a new location technique that combines phase picking with migration-based methods will be further developed and applied to microearthquake data. The results will be linked with interpretation of 4D seismic modeling and boundary element stress field computations, where the candidate will also be involved in and is expected to get familiarized with.
