John W. Snedden

SENIOR RESEARCH SCIENTIST 
John Snedden headshotJohn leads the Gulf Basin Depositional Synthesis Project (GBDS), an industry-supported research project that assembles and synthesizes well, seismic, and other data to establish a basin-scale depositional history of the Gulf of Mexico. His work focuses on Mesozoic & Cenozoic depositional systems, source-to-sink sand transport processes, and supersequence architecture. Seismic, well log, and biostratigraphic analyses allow us to address important scientific questions for this basin.
