Areas of research interest

  • Reconstruction of palaeodepositional conditions based on element proxies and core logging
  • Basin analysis (tectono-sedimentary evolution) by using outcrop and core logging, element proxies and seismic data
  • Assessment of petroleum system elements by using core logging, seismic interpretation, well logs interpretation and geochemical data
  • Petroleum system modelling
  • Geological mapping for establishment of structural elements that control distribution and trapping of mineral wealth.
