Robert L. Nowack works in seismology, developing and applying computational methods to image the Earth's subsurface using seismic wave data. His research includes techniques like seismic interferometry (extracting structural information from ambient noise), Marchenko redatuming (a method for improving subsurface imaging without needing a detailed prior model), and machine learning approaches such as convolutional neural networks for reconstructing sparse or incomplete seismic data. Applications mentioned in his work include crustal structure studies, monitoring carbon sequestration sites, and analyzing noise from sources like wind farms.
