Abstract: 

Australian Universities have come under considerable pressure and must continue to adapt and transform to be both financially viable and meet the needs of society. I invite the geophysics community of Western Australia to engage in an open discussion on future of geophysics research, teaching and learning in the University sector. There will be a particular emphasis on roles of artificial intelligence and evolving technologies like quantum sensors.

Bio:

Brett has a comprehensive industry and research background focused on a technologies for search, delineations and development of subsurface resources. Brett has been Program II leader in Australia’s approximately 145 million dollar 8.5 year Deep Exploration Technologies Cooperative Research Centre (DET CRC). Brett has established a large portfolio of research projects and is author on many research publications in high impact Journals. Prof. Harris supervises several PhD students and coordinates undergraduate subjects including advanced electromagnetism and potential fields, environmental geophysics and seismic interpretation. In summary Brett has the ability to consistently generate quality innovative research solutions from earth science projects that may span geophysics, numerical simulation, hydrogeology, geothermal technologies, mineral exploration, aquifer replenishment, geological sequestration of CO2, well logging and or well field design.
