An accomplished geologist, 20 years of experience in sedimentology, geochemistry, climate change, and oil exploration.

Profile Summary

Research scientist with expertise in geology including sedimentology, stratigraphy, sediment provenance, paleoclimates and paleoenvironments, extinction events, and climate change. Proven record of manuscript writing, editing, reviewing, and publication in prestigious SCI-Indexed journals and presentations in conferences and symposia. Specialized in using petrography, sediment geochemistry, bulk mineralogical composition using XRD, clay mineralogy, heavy minerals, heavy metals, trace, and Rare Earth Elements (REE). Currently, working on Triassic-Jurassic transition and paleoclimatic fluctuations during the Pleistocene-Holocene glaciation-deglaciation, climate change, and the concept of early Anthropocene.
