As a representative for 3D Consulting-Geo, I am here to help you find the best way to run your electromagnetics (EM) projects smoothly. I offer consultation on methods, data acquisition, processing, modelling and interpretation. Moreover, I am passionate about communicating science and reaching new audiences, so we also organize workshops on several topics about EM projects. Want to know more? Get in touch!

Potsdam, Brandenburg, Germany

I am working on the EarthShape project, a Chilean-german initiative exploring the boundaries of life at depths below the ground. My main task is to generate RadioMagnetotellurics (RMT) models that can delimitate weathering zones and map possible fluids sources or interconnected systems.

Potsdam Area, Germany

In the Framework of the GIAME project (Integrated Geoscience of the Mérida Andes, spanish Acronym), In early 2015, I lead the acquisition of two Magnetotelluric profiles accross the Venezuelan Andes. Following all steps in data acquisition, quality control and administrative aspect of the project.From late 2016 I have been working on time series processing using the tools available in the software pool from GFZ - Potsdam, data analysis (dimensionality and directionality) 2D and 3D modelling and inversion, employing MARE2DEM and ModEM inversion codes.

Venezuela

Managing and coordination of an acquisition campaign of Magnetotelluric (MT) data in the Mérida Andes, Venezuela. Main task included forward modelling of MT responses, locations scouting, and quality control of the data. This work was developed in the framework of the Integrated Geoscience of the Mérida Andes Project (GIAME, for the Spanish Acronym) which consisted of two profiles of 270 Km and 160 Km.Support in logistics and acquisition of gravity data, Western Venezuela. Visits to GFZ - Potsdam, Germany, to have experience on MT data acquisition and survey planning, as well as data processing and quality control.
