  • iGoM project: integrate and interpret seismic and well data - structural interpretation
  • Curriculum Vitae (PDF)

John M. Cannon is a geology PhD candidate at the University of Houston currently working to integrate regional tectonics and geomorphology with thermochronology and geophysical datasets to evaluate crustal structure in Nepal, China, and the Gulf of Mexico. His field experience includes geologic field mapping in Alaska, Bhutan, Montana, New Mexico, and Texas, as well as collecting gravity, conductivity, and seismic data in southern New Mexico and west Texas.

Andy Liu

  • BS, Peking Univ., MS Chinese Academy of Sciences, UH PhD candidate, 2016
  • iGoM project: integrate and interpret seismic and well data - structural interpretation

Andy (Yiduo) Liu is a PhD candidate in geology. His main research interests include tectonic evolution of continental rift, passive margin and orogenic plateau, cross section restoration and balancing, surface and subsurface mapping, and seismic interpretation. He has extensive field mapping experience in West Texas, northern New Mexico, southwest Montana, and eastern Himalaya. Also, he is actively serving in AAPG, GSA, and many other academic organizations.

Peter Anderson

  • BS West Virginia University, MS University of Texas at San Antonio, PhD Candidate University of Houston
  • iGoM project: Magnet Cove
  • Curriculum Vitae (PDF)

Peter Z Anderson a PhD student at the University of Houston is currently working on the geochemistry of Cretaceous igneous rocks along the Northern Gulf of Mexico margin, from Arkansas to Texas. He has studied a wide variety of geologic problems ranging from Pennsylvanian micropaleontology to igneous petrology. His field experience in mapping and identification spans much of the continent from Montana, South Dakota, Kansas, Oklahoma, Texas, Maryland, West Virginia, North Carolina, and Utah. He has a passion for teaching all ages and has translated that into an outreach program for elementary schools in the Houston metropolitan area.
