Interests
Michael
is a structural geologist specializing in the brittle
deformation that takes place in the upper crust of the
earth. He is a quantitative, field-based structural
geologist who analyzes mesostructures such as joints,
faults and veins in an attempt to understand their formation,
distribution and impact on subsurface fluid flow. His
current research activity focuses on fractured reservoir
characterization, the influence of mechanical stratigraphy
on fracture development, and flow through fracture networks
in layered rocks.
