Kevin Bohacs is a Senior Research Scientist at ExxonMobil Upstream Research Company. He visited Syracuse University to attend EMPOWER’s External Advisory Committee meeting. While he was here, he led a short course for Earth Science graduate students entitled “Sequence-Stratigraphic Analysis of Shales.” About 20 graduate students participated in a day-long field trip to explore local examples of Marcellus shale. After returning to campus, they participated in a hands-on workshop that examined the expression and correlation of depositional sequences in seismic, well-log, core, and outcrop data using Paleozoic, Mesozoic, and Cenozoic examples. The short course was facilitated by Chris Scholz.
