E. Charlotte Sullivan
I have a wide range of interests in the field of Stratigraphy, particularly carbonate stratigraphy. I am interested in solving problems that involve outcrop and subsurface sequence stratigraphy and that integrate seismic, rock, petrophysical and engineering data. At quite a different scale, I am interested in the sedimentology, paleoecology and taphonomy of reef organisms, especially foraminifera.
Current and past research projects include:
* Seismic attributes and reservoir compartmentalization of Permian San Andres karst and tidal flats (New Mexico)
*Seismic attributes and distribution of chert in the Devonian Thirty-One Formation (west Texas)
*Sequence stratigraphy and reservoir development in Pennsylvanian Morrow sandstones (New Mexico)
*Depositional and diagenetic controls on reservoir development in
Leonardian shelf carbonates (New Mexico)
*Outcrop sequence stratigraphy of the last shallow-water Cretaceous carbonates in Texas (Campanian Anacacho Formation, south central Texas)
*Controls on reservoir development in Jurassic and Cretaceous carbonates offshore Qatar
*Distribution and taphonomy of reef-associated foraminifera, Indonesia and the Philippines
