Hi, I'm Maly (Mahlee). I applied my geoscience/geophysics approaches (e.g., seismic methods) to various field studies, revealing high-resolution imaging of Earth's crustal structures. This could provide a clear understanding of the Earth's subsurface and the importance of geo-resources management and sustainability...


Petroleum Energy Research

Location: Kumano Forearc Basin, Japan

Geothermal Energy Research

Location: Kuju Volcano, Japan

Methods: Isotropic & anisotropic surface wave analysis to ambient noise data

Findings: high-resolution imaging to reveal geothermal structures, including highly fractured areas and flow pathways

https://doi.org/10.1016/j.geothermics.2024.102932 

Location: Taupo Volcanic Zone, New Zealand

Methods: Surface wave tomography and machine learning models

Findings: Revealed geothermal fluid flow pathways toward Lake Taupo

Other research

Location: Nagaoka CCS site, Japan

Methods: Reservoir simulation, pore pressure estimation

Findings: Natural pore pressure changes induced by earthquakes and precipitation are greater than those induced by CO2 injection.
