William Murphy is the principal and CEO of Earthworks LLC,
a small business that he founded in 1998. Bill works closely with each client and
supervises all tasks to ensure every product is exceptional. Dr. Murphy (PhD Geophysics, Stanford)
has over 21 years experience in geophysical and geological measurement services
and interpretation. 16 of these years were with Schlumberger Ltd. He has conducted
and managed subsurface surveys and logged boreholes on five continents and on
water using advanced seismic, sonar, ultrasonic, electromagnetic, and drilling
techniques. He has developed the theory of wave propagation in rocks and sediment
in over 50 publications, resulting in 3 awards. He has made over 100 presentations
on geophysical imaging and rock physics. He has performed, supervised and researched
methods in geophysical processing and developed new geophysical tools, resulting in
2 US patents: 5,869,755; 5,335,542; and two UK issues. His work in applying computer
graphics for interpreting geological, geophysical and remote-sensing data has
resulted in 3 US patents: 6,070,125; 6,044,328; and 6,035,255.
W. B. Ward has been a Vice President and Chief Geologist of Earthworks LLC since
1998. Dr. Ward (PhD Geology, Stony Brook) has over twenty years experience conducting
geological mapping and describing modern sediments and sedimentary, igneous and
metamorphic rocks in the outcrop, core, boring samples and under the microscope.
Since 1994, he has pioneered acquisition and integration of detailed geological
data with geophysical measurements (e.g., seismic, ground penetrating radar,
bore-hole measurements), GPS, and photography in order to produce maps and cross sections and
3-D computer visualizations aimed at engineers and decision-makers. Ward has
prepared and presented over twenty-five oral and poster presentations at
international meetings and invited talks. He has led field trips and taught
short courses on field description and stratigraphy for geologists, geophysicist
and petroleum engineers in West Texas, South Texas and New Mexico.
Beckett Boyd is an
Senior Geophysical Engineer and Operations Manager at Earthworks LLC. Prior to
joining Earthworks, she was a business and technical consultant for Offsets Group in
Abu Dhabi, UAE where she consulted on International Engineering Projects. She has
13 years of experience as an engineer in geophysical measurement services, interpretation
and data processing. Nine of these years were with Schlumberger Ltd. where she held a
variety of technical and staff management positions in geophysical data acquisition and
processing. She has conducted and been project manager of subsurface surveys using
advanced seismic, sonar, electromagnetic and core sampling instruments. Beckett
processes geophysical, borehole, and marine data and interprets the results for
client presentation. Beckett has participated in several archaeological field studies
around the world and wrote a cultural anthropological comparative study of six mining
towns.
Bob Fleming is a
Senior Geophysicist at Earthworks LLC. He designs and carries out geophysical surveys, interprets
geophysical and geological measurements, develops codes and algorithms for processing field
data, and integrates multiples sources of geophysical and remote sensing into georeferenced
images, maps and cross sections. Bob has over 12 years experience in data acquisition,
instrumentation, software engineering, scientific visualization, quality assurance, and
technical project management. He holds a B.A. in Geology from Harvard University and an
M.S. in Geosystems from MIT.
Stephanie Beda is a Geologist at Earthworks, LLC.
Stephanie attended Oklahoma State University, receiving a B.S. in Geology. Before joining Earthworks, LLC
she worked for an Oklahoma oil and gas company. Most recently she received her GIS certificate and is an
essential part of mapmaking at Earthworks, LLC.
Gary Fleming
is a field scientist at Earthworks. Joining Earthworks in 2001, Gary has
three years of experience in the acquisition of geo-referenced side-scan
sonar, subbottom profiling, and reflection seismic. In the laboratory, Gary
supports geophysical and image processing. Gary has developed several new
techniques such as sampling silty sediments and scanning rock cores and
thin sections. Gary is equally proficient with information technology and
with rocks and sediments.
