My research involves the integration of geophysical data such as 3D seismic data and well logs, geology data, and biostratigraphy data to understand the structural deformation in salt basins such as the Gulf of Mexico. I research the formation of salt basins, salt-fault interaction, fault interactions, and their effect on fault-seal analysis. I also evaluate reservoirs for hydrocarbon potentials and CO2 storage.
I use field mapping, geophysical surveys, and remote sensing to interpret fluvial deposits and assess the relationship between subsurface geology and geomorphic features such as coastal subsidence.
