Research Interests
Duncan Massie is interested in developing advanced acquisition and processing techniques for improving the resolution of geophysical data. Along with the application of standard geophysical techniques including electromagnetic, galvanic and seismic systems he is also actively involved with developing several unique technologies for assessment of ferrous and non-ferrous utilities. Duncan is also extending the application of geophysical techniques to solving geotechnical problems.

Key Experience
Comprehensive field experience with ground penetrating radar (GPR), SIROTEM Mk2 and Mk3, G858 and G856 magnetometers and Geometrics TR1 OhmMapper. Familiarity with seismic reflection/refraction, FEM, IP and micro-gravity surveys.
Extensive experience in processing and interpretation of preceding survey types using a combination of standard packages and additional programs developed for unique projects requiring specific information.
Geophysical investigations for geotechnical applications including void/delamination detection, utility detection and assessment of both embedment and wall conditions.
Understanding of standard survey equipment, theodolites, total stations, GPS and DGPS units.
Design and development of commercial software written in FORTRAN and DELPHI.
In addition, he has worked for a geotechnical company as their Geophysical and Research and Development Manager as well as providing consulting services to several exploration mining and other geotechnical companies. Currently he is involved with establishing a commercial trading arm for the Monash geophysics group called Monash GeoScope.
