Oceanography, Geochemistry, Biogeochemistry, Arctic, Environmental

Hello! My name is Clint Miller. I am a geochemist at Rice University. My research focuses on understanding the biogeochemistry of shallow organic-rich ocean sediments. These sediments undergo complex alteration prior to deep burial. Specific locations of study include Arctic East Siberian continental shelf/slope, offshore Peru, and Sea of Japan.

I seek energy resources. I integrate sedimentology-geochemistry-paleoecology-stratigraphy to understand basin infill histories using cores, outcrops, logs, seismic data, as well as... personal communications.

Velocity analysis, seismic processing, seismic imaging, seismic interpretation

My thesis subject is implementing velocity analysis in the surface offset domain. Like other variants of velocity analysis (shot, plane-wave based), I use offsets as an additional dimension to allow the inversion to avoid cycle skipping. This algorithm required developing reverse-time migration (RTM) in the common offset domain, and its extension to a least-squares migration, both currently in preparation for publication.

Global seismology, Earth’s deep interior

Fenglin, a seismologist, is interested in Earth's structure, from the inner core to the crust to sedimentary basins. He is also developing methods to quantify changes in rock properties before and after earthquakes.
