Research Sedimentology; Characterization and Quantification of Petroleum, CO2 , and Water Reservoirs in the subsurface of Michigan Applications of GIS/Software Technologies in the Geosciences My research activities range from regional, paleotectonic and basin analysis studies through more conventional subsurface sedimentology/sedimentary petrology and reservoir characterization, to coastal geology and coastal change studies in the Michigan Great Lakes. These research activities all revolve around the use of sedimentary geology in a wide range of applied research problems. I am currently interested in: Application of conventional, oil field reservoir characterization methodology to the determination of geological carbon sequestration potential in the Michigan basin subsurface; Investigation of fracture related, hydrothermal mineralization and the formation of dolostone hydrocarbon reservoirs in the Michigan basin; and Pennsylvanian bedrock aquifer delineation in the context of groundwater resource assessment and contmainant hydrogeology. My research activities have also lead to the integration of computer systems technologies (especially GIS and related software) to subsurfacce stratigraphy, coastal change, and water resources problems. |
