Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolSophie Pearson-Grant is a geothermal geophysicist with nine years of applied research and consulting experience, currently based at GNS Science in Lower Hutt, Wellington. She holds a PhD in Volcanology from the University of South Florida and an MGeophys from the University of Leeds, blending deep academic training with hands-on field and modelling work. Sophie specializes in numerical modelling, geothermal energy systems and volcanology, translating complex subsurface data into actionable insights for energy and hazard applications. Her background includes international study and fieldwork, including an exchange at Penn State and volunteer work in Mexico, which informs a practical, globally aware approach to geoscience. Colleagues value her ability to bridge rigorous research methods with operational consulting, delivering tools and models that support geothermal development and risk assessment. Known for clear communication of technical results, she often combines geophysical datasets to reveal non-obvious subsurface behaviors that guide exploration and monitoring.
