Summary
👤
Senior🎓
Top SchoolGlenn Sharman is an associate professor and sedimentary geologist with nine years of professional experience studying how tectonics and climate interact to shape sedimentary systems. He specializes in sediment routing and detrital geochronology, applying provenance analysis and deep‑water stratigraphic methods developed during a PhD at Stanford. Before academia he worked in industry exploring diverse basins for ConocoPhillips and building stratigraphic models at Oxy, bringing practical subsurface mapping and basin modeling skills to his research. Based in Fayetteville, Arkansas, he maintains active collaborations through the Bureau of Economic Geology and leads a research group focused on integrating field, lab, and modeling approaches (see clastics.uark.edu). An underappreciated strength is his ability to translate complex detrital geochronology datasets into actionable basin-history interpretations useful for both academic and exploration settings.
