Biography and Research Information

OverviewAI-generated summary

Clinton M. Wood is an Associate Professor at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville. His research program focuses on geophysical methods for subsurface characterization, with applications in engineering, landslide investigation, and seismic hazard assessment. He has published research on techniques such as Multichannel Analysis of Surface Waves (MASW), microtremor horizontal-to-vertical spectral ratio (mHVSR), and comparative geophysical studies for imaging subsurface voids.

Wood has received federal funding from the National Science Foundation (NSF) for two projects totaling over $550,000. These grants support his work on advancing probabilistic fault displacement hazard assessments using perishable data from earthquake sequences and developing advanced inversion strategies for shear wave velocity profiles. His research group has explored the influence of various site conditions and impedance contrasts on geophysical data processing and interpretation, aiming to improve the reliability of site characterization for infrastructure projects.

His scholarly contributions are reflected in an h-index of 19, with over 77 publications and more than 1,000 citations. Wood collaborates with researchers at the University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, including Mohammadyar Rahimi, Kevin M. Befus, Ashraf Kamal Himel, and Mersad Fathizadeh, with whom he has co-authored multiple publications.
