Salt Tectonics
Pure and applied research in salt tectonics comprises a mix of physical and mathematical modeling and seismic-based mapping and structural-stratigraphic analysis of some of the world's most spectacular salt basins. Projects of broader scope integrate salt-tectonics research into a framework of basin analysis, stratigraphy, and reservoir characterization.

Research Staff
 | Graduate studies were focused on igneous processes, magmatism and related formation of ore deposits. Professional career included exploration for base and precious metal ore deposits, coal assessment and development, and research, exploration and development in the upstream sector of the oil and gas business. Managerial positions led to development of ...
