Academic Research

Master's Thesis

My graduate research explored the evolution of the salt wall structures in the Paradox Basin in Utah and Colorado. This work combined extensive field research with subsurface mapping and three-dimensional modeling.

1

Comprehensive field work across multiple sites

2

Detailed structural and stratigraphic analysis

3

Integration of field observations with subsurface mapping
