Laramie Potts is an American[ citation needed] scientist who identified the Wilkes Land mass concentration in Antarctica in collaboration with Ralph von Frese. [1] He is from South Africa.[ citation needed] He is an associate professor in the School of Applied Engineering and Technology and teaches geomatics ( surveying) at the New Jersey Institute of Technology (NJIT). [1]
Potts received his B.S. in Land Surveying in 1984 at the University of Cape Town, his M.S. (1993) and Ph.D. [2] (2000) in Geodetic Science and Surveying at The Ohio State University and an M.B.A. (2016) from the NJIT. [3]
He and von Frese used gravity measurements by NASA's GRACE satellites to identify a 200-mile (300 km) wide mass concentration. This mass anomaly is centered within a larger ring-like structure visible in radar images of the land surface beneath the Antarctic ice cap. This combination led these researchers to speculate that it may be the result of a large impact event. [4]
Potts is part of the leadership team at Northeast Consulting Group, LLC. [5]
