David W S Eaton
Professor, University of Calgary
Professor David Eaton is a seismologist who held the NSERC/Chevron Industrial Research Chair in Microseismic System Dynamics in the Department of Earth, Energy & Environment at the University of Calgary. His research focuses on induced earthquakes and the lithosphere-asthenosphere boundary beneath continents. His work has been recognized by the 2020 J. Tuzo Wilson medal from the Canadian Geophysical Union, a Killam Annual Professorship and a 2019 NSERC Synergy Award for Innovation.
