Kevin Cerna is thrilled to join the Exploration Instruments team as a Geophysicist in the Harrisburg, Pennsylvania office. Through his professional and academic adventures to 33 states, Kevin developed a desire to investigate the intersection between complex and dynamic geological systems with human interaction. Kevin graduated with his B.A. in Geoscience from Franklin & Marshall College and is expected to graduate with his M.S. in Geology from the University of Idaho in May 2025. His current research focuses on the documentation of spatter-forming deposits from fountaining-style eruptions found on the Big Island of Hawai'i.

Professionally, Kevin brings 3 years of field experience from utilizing shallow geophysical techniques such as electromagnetics, metal detection, ground penetrating radar, electrical conductivity, gravity, and seismic. At Exploration Instruments, Kevin will assist clients by providing his technical expertise in geophysical equipment.

When not at Exploration Instruments, Kevin enjoys playing and watching soccer, immersing himself in the world of video games, and clearing the court in badminton with his wife. Be sure to ask him about his two cats: Noche and Luna!
