I received my Diploma in Mechanical Engineering Technology from the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology in 1987, a BSc from the University of Alberta in 1995 and PhD from the University of Alberta in 1999. I have worked professionally in the hydrocarbon industry, at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology, and as an Assistant Professor at the University of New Brunswick. My research focuses on using sedimentology and ichnology to interpret sedimentary rock successions. This broad field has strong links to the hydrocarbon industry, is used extensively in paleoclimatology, and is applied in modern sedimentary environments.

Research area

Ichnology, sedimentology, petroleum geology, modern sedimentary environments, stratigraphy

Research interest

Using ichnology and sedimentology to better understand hydrocarbon reservoirs
