Dr. Jeffrey B. Johnson came to Boise State University in 2012 as faculty in the
Department of Geosciences. His Ph.D. in Geophysics is from the University of Washington,
Seattle, and his M.S. in Geophysics and B.S. in Geological and Environmental Sciences are
both from Stanford University. Before coming to Boise State, Dr. Johnson was a research
professor at the New Mexico Institute of Mining and Technology, where he was pursuing
research related to multi-disciplinary geophysical volcano studies, atmospheric
tomography, and thunder from electrical storm activity. His research has taken him to
field locations throughout the world including Equador, Guatemala, Chile, Costa Rica,
Antactica, Russia, Pakistan, Idaho, New Mexico, and Hawaii. His recent work has been
supported by grants from the National Science Foundation and the National Geographic
Society.
