Stratigraphy, Sedimentology and Palaeontology

Andy Davies

My research interests encompass the use of holistic Earth System approaches and sequence stratigraphy to understand petroleum systems; paleoclimate; regional stratigraphy; machine learning; and the future of geology. My career began at Neftex, where I held the role of Head of Innovation, and I am now Principal Geoscience Advisor at Halliburton. I have a Bsc from the University of Cardiff and a PhD from the University of Southampton. I am also a visiting Senior Research Fellow at the University of Leeds.
