Researchers at the Bureau of Economic Geology are frequently recognized by their peers for their discoveries in energy, the environment, or energy economics. Bureau scientists Jake Covault and Bill Ambrose are the latest to receive accolades.
Covault, principal investigator of the Bureau’s Quantitative Clastics Laboratory (QCL), was recently honored by the New Orleans Geological Society with its “2015 NOGS Best Paper Award” for his presentation in New Orleans last June of “Predictive Organization of Deep-Water Lobes.”
Ambrose, principal investigator of the Bureau’s State of Texas Advanced Oil and Gas Resource Recovery (STARR) program, is the recipient of the American Association of Petroleum Geologists Southwest Section’s “A. I. Levorsen Memorial Award” for his April 2015 presentation of “Tidal Depositional Systems in Pennsylvanian Strata in the Anadarko Basin, Northeast Texas Panhandle” at the Southwest Section Annual Meeting held in Wichita Falls, Texas.
Lauren Redmond, a Masters candidate and graduate research assistant for the Bureau’s STARR and MSRL programs, won Best Poster Award at the Houston Geological Society’s Applied Geoscience Conference on March 8-9. Her presentation, “Tying Core Descriptions and Optical Petrography with XRF Geochemical Data for a Detailed Characterization of the Mississippian Barnett Formation in the Southern Fort Worth Basin of North-Central Texas,” was coauthored by her Masters Degree supervisors Bob Loucks and Harry Rowe.
Please join all of us at the Bureau in congratulating these researchers for their achievements.
