238: Geophysics at Scale - Completing the U.S. Magnetotelluric Survey
"The MTArray is changing how we explore for minerals and critical resources, and it’s paving the way for sustainable energy development."
Adam Schultz celebrates the completion of the U.S. Magnetotelluric (MT) Array after 18 years, a groundbreaking project that has mapped the electrical properties of the Earth’s crust across the contiguous United States. Adam explains how this geophysical method protects national infrastructure and identifies valuable resources. He shares insights into the unexpected challenges and major discoveries made while offering a bold call to action for the geophysics community to think bigger and push the boundaries of exploration. Listen to learn how the MTArray is shaping the future of geophysics and infrastructure resilience.
