Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolKerry Key is an electromagnetic geophysicist, scientific software developer, and founder who combines over a decade of hands-on research and commercial experience in marine and terrestrial EM methods with leadership at Deep Blue Geophysics and BlueGreen Geophysics. He develops and applies high-performance, parallelized finite-element and inversion codes for CSEM, MT, airborne and transient EM to image mineral, hydrological, geothermal and tectonic systems from offshore groundwater to subduction zones. Formerly an associate professor at Columbia and UC San Diego, he translates cutting-edge numerical algorithms and resolution analysis into practical survey design, QA/QC and instrument development for complex field programs. His work uniquely spans theory through deployment—designing marine instrumentation and running large-scale HPC inversions for real-world datasets. Based in Los Angeles, he brings an uncommon combination of academic rigor, entrepreneurial drive, and operational experience in challenging environments like mid-ocean ridges and subglacial systems.
