My group conducts field and laboratory-based studies of muds and mudrocks, in order to answer questions related to natural resources and environmental change. Our toolkit is diverse and integrates techniques in stratigraphy, sedimentology, geochemistry, geophysics, and paleoecology. Current student-centered projects focus on: (1) late Pennsylvanian stratigraphy, reservoir characterization, geochronology, and paleoceanography of the Midland Basin; (2) provenance, paleoenvironments, and petroleum in the East African rift; (3) benthic habitat mapping at Lake Tanganyika; (4) coal gas basins in China and the USA; (5) climate change and landscape evolution in the Pantanal wetlands of Brazil; (6) modern fluvial megafan sedimentation and geomorphology in Argentina and Brazil; (7) paleolimnology in Tanzania and the USA, with a special emphasis on scientific drilling for long records from tectonic lakes.
If you are interested in joining my group as an undergraduate researcher, PhD student, or post-doctoral scholar, please contact me by e-mail and include a copy of your resume.
