While mentoring the next generation of geoscientists, I am passionate about analyzing and protecting Earth’s resources through innovative 3D data analysis and digital geologic modeling, as well as investigating paleoclimate and early human evolution. Here is a quick look of my research:
Sedimentary geology – Sequence & seismic stratigraphy; ichnology; fluid reservoir analogs; integration of well logs, 2D/3D seismic data, and cores; ground penetrating radar (GPR); source to sink; basin analysis; tectonic sedimentology; diagenesis; sedimentology of Mars.
Geology and human evolution – Tectonics, climate, and hominin evolution of East Africa.
Paleoclimate – Compound-specific and multi-system isotopic study (δ18O, δ13C, and δD) of lipid biomarkers; GDGT paleotemperature; and paleoaltimetry.
