Thomas Quick, associate professor of instruction in the Dept. of Geosciences, has designed and built several ZRA data loggers used to measure and record very small electrical currents produced in the subsurface from a special multiple electrode assembly designed by other team members. Two ZRA loggers are currently deployed, and more are being built.
Quick joined the department in 1983. His duties include maintaining the department's analytical equipment and instructing students in the operation of this equipment.
