Peter Drzewiecki

Biography

Professor Drzewiecki is a sedimentologist specializing in the sequence stratigraphy of carbonate and clastic rocks. He earned a B.S. degree from the University of Notre Dame, and M.S. and Ph.D. degrees in Geology from the University of Wisconsin-Madison. Prior to joining Eastern, he worked as a specialist at Exxon-Mobil’s research lab. Professor Drzewiecki’s primary interest lies in understanding the way tectonics and climate have influenced ancient sedimentary environments.

Research Interests

• Influence of salt diapirism on Cretaceous carbonate platform growth
• Cyclicity and climatic signals preserved in Cretaceous rudist reefs
• Sedimentology and stratigraphy of Jurassic rift strata

Of Note

Professor Drzewiecki conducts an annual field workshop on carbonate geology in Spain for professional geoscientists.

Teaching Interests

• Sequence Stratigraphy
• Climatic and Tectonic Influences on Sedimentation
• Carbonate Facies Models
