Siliciclastic Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy
We are interested in understanding and predicting the relative interplay of those geological processes that control
- the nature, origin and evolution of clastic depositional systems,
- the stratigraphic architecture and infill of sedimentary basins, and
- the distribution of natural resources, particularly hydrocarbon reservoirs.
Sedimentary facies and sequence stratigraphic analysis of various depositional systems is being undertaken in outcrops, subsurface sedimentary basins and individual hydrocarbon accumulations from many parts of the world, including the Caribbean, North America, Africa and the Far East, as well as many parts of NW Europe.
Research Areas
Shallow Marine Sedimentology and Sequence Stratigraphy
Processes, facies architecture and physical stratigraphy in coastal and shallow-marine strata.

Tectonics and Sedimentation
Investigating the interplay between extensional, compressional and salt tectonics and the distribution and architecture of syn-kinematic depositional systems.

Soft-Sediment Deformation
Soft-sediment deformation can record periods of tectonism, rapid deposition and/or compaction, and fluid flow and also has implications for the production of hydrocarbons.
