Lin Feng
Add Date here
Lin feng is a visiting PhD student from the China University of Geosciences, Wuhan. Lin's research focuses on the characterization of redox dependant elements in lake deposits from the Mid Eocene Climate Optimum in China. She is also interested in investigating the factors controling the carbonate factory in lake deposits during hyoerthermals.
Yadir Torres
Yadir is a new PhD student at the EAS Department of the University of Houston. Yadir is a reservoir geologist with 3 years of experience in Petroleum Industry. He has a MSc in reservoir characterization from the Techonolical University of Delft Netherlands. He is interested on: 1) siliciclastic reservoir characterization, 2) provenance analysis, sedimentary basin analysis, the Colombian Caribbean Offshore Basins
Carlos Andrade
Add Date here
Carlos Guilherme Andrade graduated in Geology at the State University of Rio de Janeiro – Brasil in 2014. Has worked in many geological projects alongside the Brazilian government, including damage control and prevention of geological hazard associated with mudslides and rockslides in the mountain areas of Rio de Janeiro, as well as quality control of exploratory data sent by Oil Operators to the National Agency of Oil and Gas in the country.
Carlos will work on oil to source Mo and U isotope characterization in the Upper -Middle Magdalena basin, Colombia, as well as in the pre salt record in the Campos and Santos basins Brazil
Manuel Paez
Manuel is a new PhD student at the EAS Department of the University of Houston. Manuel is currently sponsored by the Colombian Research Council, Colciencias (www.colciencias.gov.co). He is investigating how changes in ocean oxygenation during the Cretaceous, i.e. the Ocenaic Anoxic events, affected the marine life in tropical seas.
Deniz Erdal
Deniz Erdal is a new Msc student at the EAS Department of the University of Houston. Deniz is sponsored by the Turkish Petroleum Company and is investigating changes in the Eocene-Miocene carbonate factory in Jamaica. He is using multy proxies to further investigate the causes of the Miocene Carbonate crash along the Caribbean.
Giovanni Nova

He is also working onFe speciation as well as on S, Mo and U isotope characterizations in the Wolfcamp and the Snowball Earth postglacial sucession in Central Brazil . Yang Yu holds also a BSc in Economics from the U Texas Austin.
Ana Milena Salazar
Ana Milena is a young research scientist sponsored by the Colombian Research Council, Colciencias (www.colciencias.gov.co). Ana will be investiating the climatic vs tectonic facotrs controling the evolution of the marine carbonate factory along the Cenozoic San Jacinto Basin.
Jana Meixnerová
Jana is a visiting young researcher sponsored by the German Acadmic Exchange Service. Jana got the prestigious DAAD schoolarship (https://www.daad.de/rise-weltweit/en/). Jana will be performing multi-elemental analyses in Cretaceous black shales. Her research aims on investigating changes in ancient ocean redox.
Mario Lara
Mario Lara is a young researcher sponsored by the Colombian Research Council, Colciencias (www.colciencias.gov.co). Mario is currently investigating how changes in the stratigraphy of Oligocen-Miocene continental to transition sucessions croping out along northern Colombia relate to the colition between Central and South America at 13 Ma and to potential changes in Miocene Climate
