Will works in marine seismology with the goal of pulling as much quantifiable information out of seismic data as possible anywhere within reach of human interaction, from the ocean interior to our deepest boreholes. He received his Ph.D. in geophysics from the University of Wyoming before moving the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory of Columbia University as a postdoctoral research scientist. Currently, Will is an Associate Research Scientist at Lamont-Doherty focused mainly on helping understand risks facing human civilization, both self-inflicted in the form of evaluating basaltic carbon sequestration potential and through natural hazards associated with submarine landslides.

This is a window into the world of those producing and consuming scholarly and professional content – academics and practitioners. Some sample topics to probe: How do you keep on top of the latest updates in your field? How “up to date” do you feel you have to be? Where do you do your reading and do you have any automated feeds? How do you choose where to publish? What is the user experience like? What are your biggest frustrations? What are timelines like? Do you use pre-print servers? How does your field view them? Are you active on social media interacting with published or WIP research?
