Aktarul Ahsan

Experienced Geologist with background in conducting field studies, collecting data, samples and analyzing geomorphological, geological and geophysical data. Possess strong skills in utilizing advanced technology for research and proficient in geological mapping. Previous role involved improving methods of geomorphology, structural geology and tectonics, petroleum systems and paleogeography.

I work on the areas of Geomorphology, Tectonics, Neotectonics, Structural Geology, Earthquakes, PaleoGeography-Climate change, Petroleum Systems and Geophysics. I am interested to see surface and subsurface responses of deformation related to tectonics and to relate those to regional tectonics, petroleum systems and paleogeography. I use various geological-geophysical methods and mapping techniques to conclude  a meaningful outcome.
