Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolAlan Jackson is a pro bono data scientist and geophysical consultant in Houston who leverages decades of industry-leading experience in rock physics and quantitative interpretation to deliver short-term technical projects and training. After a long career at Shell—where he led visualization and interpretation software teams, supported ~1500 users, and served as an AVO research and exploration expert—he founded Adelie Resources and now focuses on data-science projects, teaching, and creating training videos for Knowledgette. He combines hands-on coding in Perl, Python, and R with deep domain expertise in seismic rock properties and quantitative interpretation, and has a track record of editorial leadership in Leading Edge and the SEG Publications Committee. Unusually, he blends academic rigor (MS in Physics) with practical IT leadership and software product management, making him effective at translating complex geophysical problems into reproducible analysis and tools.
