OverviewAI-generated summary
Clinton M. Wood's research focuses on geophysical methods for characterizing the subsurface, particularly for applications in engineering and environmental studies. His work investigates the performance and comparative advantages of various geophysical techniques, such as MASW (Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves) and mHVSR (microtremor Horizontal-to-Vertical Spectral Ratio), for imaging subsurface voids, assessing landslide potential, and improving site characterization for transportation projects.
Wood has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for two projects totaling $552,214. The first, a RAPID/Collaborative Research award of $50,000, focused on advancing probabilistic fault displacement hazard assessments by collecting data from the 2023 Turkiye earthquake sequence. The second, a larger NSF award of $502,214, supports the advancement of realistic and probabilistic shear wave velocity profiles using advanced inversion strategies.
His publications explore the influence of various site conditions, near-field effects, and impedance contrasts on geophysical data processing and site period estimates. Wood leads a research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and has a scholarly output marked by an h-index of 18, with 77 total publications and 1,039 citations. He collaborates with several researchers at his institution, including Mohammadyar Rahimi, Kevin M. Befus, and Ashraf Kamal Himel.
