Summary of Experience

Mark L. Wiley, B.S., recently completed the requirements for his bachelors of science degree in geology at the University of Texas at Austin. He is currently pursing a masters degree in geophysics in the field of seismic exploration at the University of Houston.

Since graduation, Mr. Wiley has work experience in both industry and academia. During his undergraduate career, he worked as an undergraduate research assistant where he contributed to several projects such as tectonic history in the Papua (west New Guinea) Indonesia region and the Franciscan subduction zone. He has recently finished an internship at a large oil and gas corporation where he used 3D seismic and well log data to explore a region in the Gulf of Mexico. He provides geophysical input and assists in sampling on C&A geological and environmental projects and cases.
