About Lisa

I am an Assistant Professor at Colorado State University in the Department of Geosciences. I am interested in applied reservoir modeling, using outcrops as quantitative subsurface analogs, and creating methodologies to build more predictive sedimentological models and reservoir/flow simulation models from seismic attributes and outcrop analog data. Specialties: Deep-water Sedimentology and Stratigraphy, Reservoir Characterization and Modeling, Flow Simulation with History Matching and Prediction, Seismic Interpretation Current Areas of Geographic Focus: Magallanes Basin, Patagonia; Kaiparowits Plateau, S. Utah Previous Research Areas: Molasse Basin, Austria; Eocene deep-water outcrops in S. California
