Teodor Vasquez-Lin

Teodor Vasquez-Lin leads geophysical interpretation at Stickney Station on Phobos. A specialist in gravity gradiometry, he designed the sensor-pod spacing on the Gravwell Gradiometer Array and spent most of 2185 aboard a Valkyrie Survey Corvette proving that the array could see density contrasts 12 kilometres below a surface.

His group combines gravity, magnetic and seismic readings into single subsurface models, a technique that cut wasted drill metres on the Stickney Rim neodymium field by roughly a third. Colleagues know him as the geophysicist who will happily spend an hour explaining why a promising anomaly is just a buried void. He mentors four junior interpreters and lectures at most guild field days held around Mars.
