Our Scientific Committee Chairs
4th Applied Shallow Marine Conference
Maarten Vanneste graduated in Physics (1995) at the University of Ghent (Belgium), and received a PhD in Marine Geology and Geophysics at the same university (2000). He then joined the Marine Geology and Geophysics research unit at the University of Tromsø, Norway, as a Post-doc Researcher. Since 2006, he is a Principal Geoscientist in the Offshore Energy business area at the Norwegian Geotechnical Institute (NGI, Oslo). He currently leads the Offshore Geohazards and Dynamics section.
His research interests include, amongst others, offshore geohazard assessments, integrated site characterization, geophysical mapping techniques (e.g., shear and surface wave seismics), quantitative seismic interpretation, gas hydrates and fluid flow. He also works intensively on developing site-specific ground models, using a data-driven approach for the integration of geophysical, geological and geotechnical data and information. He is Secretary of the ISO Technical Panel 19901-10 on Marine Geophysical Investigations, and Chairman of the bi-annual conference series Applied Shallow Marine Geophysics, initiated in 2014, under the umbrella of the EAGE Near-Surface Geoscience Division until today. He has (co-)authored over 70 papers in peer-reviewed journals and conference proceedings, and is peer-reviewer for many technical journals covering various fields of Geosciences and well as international R&D projects.
3rd Conference on Geophysics for Mineral Exploration & Mining
Michael Zhdanov is a Distinguished Professor and Director of CEMI at the University of Utah. He is also a Chairman and CEO of TechnoImaging, LLC.
