My PhD research work will be devoted to examining the sequence stratigraphy and facies architecture of the Cretaceous Gallup Sandstone in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico. The research will focus on the following aspects:

1. High-resolution Sequence stratigraphy, shoreline trajectory, and implications for Cretaceous sea-level changes.
2. Facies architecture of asymmetrical storm and wave- influenced deltas.
3. Non-marine sequence stratigraphy of the Gallup and Crevasse Canyon formations, New Mexico.
4. Forced regressions and link between the marine and non-marine expression.
5. Analysis of the origin of thin-beds in pro-delta shale.
6. Paleohydraulics and sediment budget in Source to Sink Systems
