The Department of Geology is pleased to invite you to a virtual seminar featuring guest speaker Dr. Julie M. Bloxson from Stephen F. Austin State University from 3 to 4 p.m. Thursday, April 23.
Bloxson will present on “Far-field Tectonic Controls on Deposition of the Ordovician Utica/Point Pleasant Play, Ohio using Core Logging, Well Logging, and Multivariate Analysis.”
Reach out to Dr. Zelalem Demissie, associate professor of geoscience, at zelalem.demissie@wichita.edu for more information.
Speaker bio:
Bloxson is an associate professor in the Department of Earth Sciences & Geologic Resources at Stephen F. Austin State University. Her research focuses on Gulf Coast, East Texas and Appalachian Basin systems, with emphasis on petroleum systems, stratigraphy, critical minerals in brines, geothermal resources and salt tectonics.
She leads student-driven research on subsurface systems using an integrated framework that combines field geology, petrophysics, geochemistry and geospatial analysis. Prior to her academic appointment, she worked with the Ohio Division of Geological Survey on CCUS reservoir characterization, salt studies and subsurface analysis.
Bloxson earned her doctorate in earth sciences from Case Western Reserve University, where she investigated mineralogy and facies distribution of the Utica Shale. She holds an master’s in geology from Kent State University (CCUS-focused research on Clinton Sands) and a bachelor’s in geology from the University of Akron.
