Resume
I am currently working on mapping and 3-D kinematic analysis
of several basement related anticlinal structures along the western margin of
Bighorn basin, WY, including the Rattlesnake
Mountain, Horse Center, Oregon
Basin, Little Buffalo Basin, Grass Creek and Hamilton Dome anticlines. I am
using a variety of methods using several software packages to formulate a
streamlined workflow to generate integrated structural map, cross-sections, and
sub-surface 3-D model. I am creating GIS based interactive maps and associated
databases in ESRI GIS software packages, which are integrated with
cross-section software Lithotect and 3-D modeling software GOCAD. I implemented
this method successfully on the Bear Creek & Big Elk Anticlines in
Idaho-Wyoming Fold Thrust belt in my MS
thesis. That study has been published in the Journal of Structural Geology
(click for PDF). I worked on the
Sheep Mountain Anticline in the Bighorn basin, Wyoming, to develop a remote sensing method
of structural mapping. The Sheep
Mountain study has been
published in the AAPG Bulletin (click
for PDF). I worked on several structural interpretation and 3-D modeling
projects for Mexican National Oil Company PEMEX (Resume for details). We
published the Kumaza work in the AAPG Bulletin (click for PDF). Currently I am
working of the Rattlesnake Mountain Anticline, Wyoming, studying its 3-D structural style.
Several students from my work group have looked at other structures like the
Sheep Mountain Anticline in the Colorado
Front Ranges,
Afton-Smoot Fold Belt in Idaho-Wyoming Fold Thrust belt, and the Painter-East
Painter oil & gas fields in the Fossil Basin, Wyoming. I work with Dr.
Shankar Mitra. We are in the process of developing an active research
program at OU.
