Arjun Kohli is a research scientist and geophysicist with a decade of experience applying geomechanics, seismic hazard assessment, and data-driven methods to subsurface energy and storage projects. Based in the San Francisco Bay Area, he builds open geospatial databases and machine learning models to improve site selection and risk assessment for carbon, hydrogen, and geothermal storage. He co-authored a leading textbook on unconventional reservoir geomechanics, created widely used open-access graduate courses with over 20,000 enrollees, and has authored peer-reviewed work on earthquake physics and induced seismicity. As a scientific consultant and former Stanford researcher, he has developed EPA Class VI seismic hazard protocols and supported hydraulic fracture test site analyses. Less obvious: he blends lab-scale experimental skills (high-pressure X‑ray imaging and bespoke sensors) with large-scale computational workflows, enabling translation from pore-scale physics to field-scale decision-making. Passionate about open data, he advocates for transparent geospatial tools to accelerate decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors.
