Perform detailed investigations of clastic, carbonate and evaporitic rocks and understand weathering and erosion processes that both shaped the geological features of the Earth and defined the conditions necessary to generate crude oil in conventional reservoirs
Use automated grain size and shape measurements to understand climatic conditions of formation, and employ correlative microscopy to blend mineralogy data from polarized light microscopes and automated mineralogy to provide textural knowledge
Determine stratigraphic sequences from microfossils through both SEM imaging and X-ray microscopy
Use detailed data on the organism’s structure to identify species and development level to provide geological timescales of formation
Geoscience Education
Training the geoscientists of tomorrow
A good understanding of geological sciences is grounded in a competence for using the available toolbox of instrumentation.
