Jerry Harris
The Cecil H. and Ida M. Green Professor in Geophysics, Emeritus
Current Research and Scholarly InterestsBiographical Information
Jerry M. Harris is the Cecil and Ida Green Professor of Geophysics and Associate Dean for the Office of Multicultural Affairs. He joined Stanford in 1988 following 11 years in private industry. He served five years as Geophysics department chair, was the Founding Director of the Stanford Center for Computational Earth and Environmental Science (CEES), and co-launched Stanford's Global Climate and Energy Project (GCEP). Graduates from Jerry's research group, the Stanford Wave Physics Lab, work in private industry, government labs, and universities.
Research
My research interests address the physics and dynamics of seismic and electromagnetic waves in complex media. My approach to these problems includes theory, numerical simulation, laboratory methods, and the analysis of field data. My group, collectively known as the Stanford Wave Physics Laboratory, specializes on high frequency borehole methods and low frequency labratory methods. We apply this research to the characterization and monitoring of petroleum and CO2 storage reservoirs.
Teaching
I teach courses on waves phenomena for borehole geophysics and tomography. I recently introduced and co-taught a new course on computational geosciences.
Professional Activities
I was the First Vice President of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists in 2003-04, and have served as the Distinguished Lecturer for the SPE, SEG, and AAPG. -
Elizabeth Finlayson Harris
Ph.D. Student in Education, admitted Autumn 2023
BioElizabeth Finlayson Harris is a PhD student in Curriculum and Teacher Education at Stanford University, specializing in science, engineering, and technology education with a minor in Feminist, Gender, and Sexuality Studies. Her research examines epistemology, affect, and feminist perspectives in science education, with particular attention to pre-service teacher learning. She has published in Science Education, Emotion, Space and Society, and Studying Teacher Education, and her current projects explore humor, laughter, and epistemic affect in science classrooms. A former high school physics teacher and instructional designer, Liz brings a commitment to equity, joy, and critical inquiry in both her teaching and scholarship.
