Derecke Palmer is a leading international authority on near surface seismic refraction methods and the originator of the generalized reciprocal method (GRM). He has received numerous awards from Australian and international exploration geophysics societies for his contributions to the field. His current research interests primarily focus on processing full waveform seismic refraction data using Seismic Unix, with the goal of generating detailed compressional and shear wave models for near surface applications. His methods are particularly applied to statics corrections in seismic reflection data, especially in weathering layers and sub-weathering complexities where low signal-to-noise ratios occur. This includes challenging conditions such as sand dunes and windy environments near infrastructure. His work has significant applications in the extraction of detailed traveltime and amplitude attributes, facilitating comprehensive characterization for near-surface geotechnical studies, exploration, and natural resource management.
