Present Company Independent ConsultantSkill Pool Exploration Geosciences & Seismic Interpretation,Main Technical SkillsRegional Exploration Studies based on ‘Integrated Prospectivity Studies’, ‘Integrated Charge Evaluation’ (ICE), Play based YTF Evaluation (PBE), 2D/3D Regional Seismic Interpretation, Applied Geophysics (QI / Regional Rock Property Studies), Reservoir Geology, Regional Geology and Paleogeography (GDE mapping).

Experience with lithostratigraphic and chronostratigraphic work (relative age dating with nanno-, micro- and palynofossils) of Jurassic to Early Tertiary deep water marine sediments. Alternative geological mapping techniques (e.g. aerial photographic interpretation, satellite image interpretation). Whole rock analytical lab-experience (e.g. coulometry, XRF, XRD), know various preparation techniques for calcareous and organic micro- and nannofossils.

Have operated and published work with the Hitachi 2300 & Jeol 320 SEMs. Participated in seismic acquisition (assisted in relief/surface geol. mapping along transects for static corrections) of Swiss part of European Alpine Geotraverse.
