OverviewAI-generated summary
Clinton M. Wood's research focuses on characterizing seismic site effects and understanding the dynamic behavior of soils and geological structures. He has received significant federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) to support this work, including a $50,000 RAPID/Collaborative Research grant for advancing probabilistic fault displacement hazard assessments by collecting data from the 2023 Turkiye earthquake sequence, and a $502,214 grant for developing realistic and probabilistic shear wave velocity profiles using advanced inversion strategies. Wood leads a research group at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville and has an h-index of 19 with over 1,100 citations across his 78 publications.
His research investigates the application of geophysical methods, such as the Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW) and electrical resistivity surveys, for assessing site conditions and infrastructure. Publications detail studies on site effects in Mexico City, levee assessment using MASW and resistivity, seismic microzonation of Port-au-Prince, Haiti, and liquefaction potential during the Tohoku-Oki earthquake. Wood also explores factors influencing soil electrical resistivity and the performance of different data processing techniques for MASW analysis.
