Derek Elsworth（德里克•埃尔斯沃斯）

    德里克•埃尔斯沃斯教授，美国能源岩石力学专家，美国国家工程院院士，中国工程院外籍院士，宾夕法尼亚州立大学休梅克讲座教授、能源与矿物工程和地球科学教授。长期致力于计算力学、地质力学和地球物理学领域的科学研究与工程实践，主要成果应用于诱发地震，破裂岩石的力学与传输特性演变，地热能开发，放射性废物和二氧化碳的深层地质封存，氢和非常规碳氢化合物的储存与生产，以及火山灾害等领域。

    Professor Derek Elsworth is G. Albert Shoemaker Chair and Professor of Energy and Mineral Engineering and Geosciences at Pennsylvania State University in USA. His research interests are in the areas of computational mechanics, geomechanics and geophysics with application to induced seismicity and the related evolution in the mechanical and transport characteristics of fractured rocks, with application to geothermal energy, the deep geological sequestration of radioactive wastes and of CO2, and the storage and production of hydrogen and unconventional hydrocarbons including coal-gas, tight-gas-shales and hydrates, and instability and eruption dynamics of volcanoes.
