Serguei Goussev graduated from Lomonosov Moscow State University, Russia, with a joint degree in geology and geophysics in 1974. From 1974 to 1995, he worked in the acquisition, processing, and interpretation of geophysical data acquired in the Okhotsk Sea, South China Sea, northern Siberia, southern Yemen, and Central Asia. Since immigrating to Canada in 1995, he has been working in geophysical exploration projects across the globe. In total, he has gained 40+ years of experience in gravity, magnetic, and seismic exploration for oil-and-gas and mineral resources. Between 1997 and 2020, Serguei authored and co-authored 30 gravity and magnetic exploration studies published in geophysical journals and presented at international conventions and workshops. He designed the Goussev filter for high-resolution detection of low-amplitude gravity and magnetic gradient anomalies. He has been a member of the Society of Exploration Geophysicists (SEG) since 1997.
