Areas of Research

Sedimentary Systems, Clastic Sedimentology, Basin Analysis

My research group focuses on sedimentary systems, with an emphasis on using siliciclastic sedimentology and stratigraphy to solve a variety of problems, ranging from the bed- to basin- scale. Areas of current interest include: (1) Foreland and forearc basin evolution, geochronology, and stratigraphic architecture, with an emphasis on the Alberta Foreland Basin, the Magallanes Basin of Chile, and the Nanaimo forearc basin of western British Columbia. (2) Deep-water channel sedimentary processes and products from modern seafloor and deep-time settings. (3) Paleoenvironmental reconstructions of early hominid landscapes at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. (4) Fluvial meander belt geomorphology and stratigraphic architecture. We regularly apply our work for the characterization and prediction of subsurface geology.

Projects

Chile Slope Systems Joint Industry Project

https://www.chileslopesystems.com

 

The CSS joint industry project (JIP) is a collaboration between the University of Calgary, Colorado State University, Virginia Tech and industrial partners, which aims to better understand the processes of sediment transfer across deep-water slopes through analysis of channel deposits that crop out in the Magallanes Basin of southern Chile.  

A primary motivation is to provide insight into stratigraphic architecture and hydrocarbon distribution within subsurface reservoirs that are hosted in analogous slope channel system deposits. As such, the research ultimately aims to provide geomodels of slope channel strata constrained by detailed outcrop observations.
