Keywords: Clastic Sedimentology, Stratigraphy, Foreland Basins, Tectonics, Western Interior Basin, Accommodation.

Description: Following the completion of an MSc in Basin Evolution and Dynamics at Royal Holloway, I went on to complete my PhD at the University of Liverpool. The doctorate focussed on the evolution of accommodation in retro-arc foreland basins, using case studies from the Western Interior Basin of North America and the Eastern Venezuela Basin. Presently at the University of Manchester modeling seismic profiles from the Norwegian sector of the NNS. Other research interests include the effects of basin floor topography in the generation of ramp-margin turbidites, and the effects of subsidence on shoreface architectures during sea-level falls in foreland basin settings. Will be joining ExxonMobil in the New Year.
