Dr. Michael D. Blum

Dr. Blum joined KU's Department of Geology in 2014 after serving as a senior research advisor at ExxonMobil. His research focuses on fluvial and coastal sedimentology, sequence stratigraphy of continental and shallow-marine successions, global to regional sea-level change, geologic responses to global change, and source-to-sink sediment dispersal in the stratigraphic record. His Fluvial study combines topics in areas such as Sedimentary basin, Coastal plain and Unconformity. His Sedimentary basin study integrates concerns from other disciplines, such as Geologic record, Climate change, Earth science and Continental margin. He also does research in Paleontology, focusing on Sequence stratigraphy specifically.
