Bruce Leybourne is an experienced geologist with extensive fieldwork worldwide with over 30-years of operational and managerial experience in the use of the latest state-of-the-art data acquisition and analysis technology. He is the Principal Investigator and Research Director at Institute for Advanced Studies on Climate Change and owner operator of Climate-Stat Inc. and Geostream Consulting.
His specialty includes global gravity and marine magnetic data acquisition with offshore experience on-board seismic vessels acquiring gravity/magnetic data for oil and gas exploration. He has performed field investigations all over the globe. Recent ongoing field investigations occurs within the Southwest United States, which reveal electric geologic events of the past.
During his Navy tenure he worked at the U.S. Naval Oceanographic Office, Stennis Space Centre, in the Geophysics Department acquiring and analysing gravity, magnetic, seismic, bathymetric, and oceanographic data sets. This has included multi-beam seafloor mapping, oceanography, side scan sonar, gravity cores, current meter and tide-gauge deployments.
Unique characteristics of these datasets began to reveal global tectonic and regional structural interpretations that were unknown to academic research institutions. His follow on research began noting interesting links to climate change instigating a series of related publications considering a Tectonic Forcing Function for Climate Modelling in 1996.
A Radio Finding Detection Network is proposed to detect Solar ElectroMagnetic (EM) Induction effects producing an electromotive force, or voltage, across ancient electrical conducting volcanic rock complexes underlying North America. ElectroMagnetic Pulse (EMP), climate change, hurricanes, tornadoes, lightning, earthquakes, volcanism, and certain types of wildfire outbreaks may be stimulated during a weakening of the solar magnetic field especially during the upcoming solar minimum, increasing Earth's internal inductance power capable of driving much more violent events. This experimental testing is aimed at globally monitoring geophysical EM events to develop new forecasting methods. North American focus is on the New Madrid Fault, Florida hurricanes, and California wildfire and earthquakes, improving the science of natural disaster forecasting, management, investment, and governance, contributing to better resource-related negotiations and policy debates affecting fiscal/tax policies.
