Stewart Trickett is the owner, researcher, and developer for Juniper Bay Software Ltd.
Stewart has a bachelor’s degree in computer science from the University of British Columbia and a master’s degree in applied mathematics from the University of Waterloo. He has researched and developed seismic processing software for over thirty-five years, and was the original designer of two commercially successful processing systems: Veritas Seismic’s Sage and Kelman Technologies’ Kismet. He was the manager of research and development at Kelman Technologies, and later an R&D manager at Fugro and CGG owing to take overs, for thirteen years. He began Juniper Bay Software in 2016.
Stewart has published over 50 articles and conference abstracts, primarily on deconvolution, noise attenuation, interpolation, and first-break picking, and has given countless presentations to clients, conferences, and professional societies. Google Scholar lists over 700 citations of his work. He is best known for his development of rank-reduction techniques such as Cadzow filtering, often called Singular Spectrum Analysis, for seismic noise attenuation and interpolation. His talk “Robust rank-reduction filtering for erratic noise” was selected as one of the top thirty papers delivered at the 2012 SEG annual convention. In 2016 he was presented with the Technical Achievement Award of the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists for outstanding technical contributions to the field of Canadian geophysics.
Stewart is a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists, the Canadian Society of Exploration Geophysicists, and the European Association of Geoscientists and Engineers. He is an associate editor for Geophysics, the world’s most highly respected journal in applied geophysics.
