James Lakings received a Ph.D. from Duke University for using microearthquake signals to describe the flow of groundwater in and around geothermal production and injection wells. As Chief Scientist for Microseismic Inc., he developed industry leading geophysical techniques to characterize reservoir-to-well connectivity in unconventional reservoirs created by hydraulic fracture emplacement. Lakings is the author on several commercial patents and publications. He is currently developing innovative methods for integrating advanced remote sensing water balance products with geological, geophysical, and hydrological data in order to better understand the relationships between groundwater recharge and groundwater discharge.
