R&D Company Specialized in MASW
We are a small R&D company focused on a geotechnical seismic technique called multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW). Park Seismic LLC was founded in 2007 by Dr. Choon Park, the lead author of MASW (Park et al., 1999; GEOPHYSICS). Since then, Park Seismic LLC has executed more than two hundred MASW projects by providing consultations on field logistics and services in data analysis and reporting. We develop commercial software solutions for MASW data analysis. We also provide the MASW training through short courses and online tutorials.

Dr. Park received his Ph.D. from the University of Kansas (KU)(1995) with development of the SIST that delivers a few hundred seismic impacts in a coded mode to increase the resolution o high-frequency reflection imaging. In parallel, Dr. Park also started surface-wave research in the early 90s as the other (low-frequency) end of near-surface seismic applications, which later evolved into the multichannel analysis of surface waves (MASW) method. He conducted the MASW-related research during his post-doctoral fellowship at Kansas Geological Survey (KGS), a research institute based at KU. He worked as a research scientist at the KGS until 2006, publishing more than one hundred papers, mostly related to the MASW method. Recently, he has been facilitating the method's adoption among relevant engineering communities by applying it in diverse geotechnical projects. Over the past two decades, Dr. Park has taught MASW training courses at more than twenty geophysical and geotechnical conferences.
He is the author of the ParkSEIS software for MASW analysis. He is also author/co-author of other near-surface seismic data-processing software packages developed at the KGS (SurfSeis, WinSeis, and Eavesdropper). Dr. Park received his master's (MS) degree from Ohio University (1988) with research in the migration of shallow high-frequency reflection data. He graduated from Seoul National University (1983) in Seoul, South Korea, with a BS in physics and science education.
