Adam Schultz is the Prof. of Oregon State University. Brief research interest is geophysical imaging to study the structure and composition of Earth’s interior. Specialty on using of geophysical imaging methods to study the structure, fluid distribution, composition, temperature and state of the Earths interior from the near-surface scale to the deep mantle. High performance computation including massively parallel architectures including GPU and hybrid computing. Instrumentation and sensor research and development. Renewable energy including geothermal power. Studies of fluid flow in cracked, porous, reactive media including seafloor hydrothermal systems. Recent important research experience includes: Magnetotelluric Array Principal Investigator, since 2006 directing systematic 3D mapping of the electrical resistivity structure of the conterminous USA under NSF EarthScope (2006-2018), NASA (2019-2020) and USGS (2021-2024) support. Development of a SMART Service System for the electric power grid, assimilating space weather data, magnetotelluric data, sensor streams from the power grid, and machine learning to mitigate damage to the power grid from geomagnetically induced currents resulting from geomagnetic disturbances caused by space weather and by electromagnetic pulse weapons. Novel use of combined geophysical and geochemical methods to study Enhanced Geothermal Systems (e.g. Newberry Volcano) in 4D to understand hydrologic impact of hydrofracturing. Development of a new generation of ultrawideband electromagnetic receivers and operation of the US National Geoelectromagnetic Facility, a series of national instrument pools operated by Oregon State University on behalf of the US academic community, and so on.
