Biondo Biondi is the Barney and Estelle Morris Professor of Geophysics at Stanford University. He is the Director of the Stanford Earth Imaging Project, an academic consortium whose mission is to develop innovative seismic imaging methodologies and to educate the next generation of leaders in applied seismology. Biondo and his students devise new algorithms to improve imaging of active and passive seismic data. Images obtained from seismic data are the primary source of information on the structural and stratigraphic complexities in Earth's subsurface and on many subsurface dynamic processes. These images are constructed by processing seismic wavefields recorded at the Earth's surface and generated by either active-source (e.g., vibroseis trucks) experiments or by natural (e.g., ocean waves) and anthropogenic (e.g., vehicle traffic) sources. Because our datasets are enormous, and wavefield propagation needs to be accurately modeled to achieve high-resolution imaging, we need to harness the power of the latest computational hardware to test our methods on field data. Therefore, mapping imaging algorithms into high-performance architecture is an essential component of our research. The amount and quality of information that we can extract from seismic data are directly linked to the temporal and spatial sampling of the sources and the receivers. In the past several years, we have been working on methods to process data recorded by using fiber cables as seismic sensors. Fiber-optic seismic recording promises to enable cost-effective continuous seismic monitoring at a large scale. A particularly exciting possibility is leveraging preexisting telecommunication infrastructure to record seismic data with dense arrays in urban environments continuously. In 2016 we pioneered that idea by recording data under the Stanford campus. Since then, we recorded data in San Jose and on a 48-km array under Stanford and neighboring cities. In 2004 the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) honored Biondo with the Reginald Fessenden Award. In 2006 Biondo published with SEG the book “3D Seismic Imaging” that was the first book to introduce the theory of seismic imaging from the 3-D perspective. In 2007 Biondo was the SEG/EAGE Distinguished Short Course Instructor, for which he gave a one-day course in more than 30 cities around the world.
