Cynthia Ebinger

Ebinger is a geophysicist with 30 years’ experience utilizing geophysical data and models to understand the structure and stress state in the subsurface for applications to mineral and energy resource assessment, reservoir injection/extraction,  fluid migration, and natural hazards.  While a professor in the U.K., she worked with major mining companies on regional analyses of crust in North and South America and Africa.   Ebinger is currently monitoring earthquakes and ground deformation in Louisiana and East Africa, and her students model the spatial migration of fluids in the subsurface to predict potential earthquake zones.  She also has experience in high and low enthalpy geothermal systems.  Ebinger is a science advisor to Department of State on critical minerals and energy.
