Gallup Sandstone

Gallup Sandstone, San Juan Basin, New Mexico
Our new field area is focused on the Gallup Sandstone in the San Juan Basin, New Mexico where both tectonics and eustasy have been proposed to control the origin of high frequency sequences. 
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, Gallup Sandstone, New Mexico 
5. Analysis of the origin of thin-beds in prodelta and shelf shales of the Juana Lopez Member of the Mancos Shale, New Mexico
