Posters and Talks at AAPG 2013 in Pittsburgh

If you are going to the annual AAPG meeting in Pittsburgh next week check out the posters and talks we are giving.

We have two poster presentations, both of them on Tuesday (May 21) morning from 8:30am-noon in the Exhibition Hall:

  • Patrick Boyle (M.S. candidate) will be presenting some preliminary results of his research in a poster titled “Using the Seismic Expression of Contourite Drifts to Understand Mud-Dominated Depositional Systems: Insights from the Newfoundland Ridge, offshore Canada”
  • Neal Auchter (Ph.D. candidate) will be showing some brand new data from field work earlier this spring in a poster titled “Stratigraphic Architecture of Punctuated Deepwater Channel Migration, Upper Cretaceous Tres Pasos Formation, Magallanes Basin, Chile”

I will be giving two talks, both in the turbidite session on Tuesday (May 21) afternoon in Room 403/404/405:

  • At 1:20 pm I have talk about some work I’ve been doing on modern submarine fan deposits: “Grain-Size Characteristics of Unconfined Deep-Water Deposits in the Quaternary Santa Monica Basin, California: Implications for Reservoir Quality in Distal Turbidite Systems”
  • At 3:25 pm I will discuss “Variability in Slope Sandstone Bodies: Linkage to Slope Morphology and Evolution”

See you in Pittsburgh.
