The Robert E. Horton Geology Alumni Speaker Series presents Albion College alumnus Mark Longman ‘72. The title of his lecture is “Revisiting the Upper Cretaceous Niobrara Petroleum System in the Rocky Mountain Region.” The lecture will be at 7 pm on Thursday, 3/21, in Norris Hall 102. Everyone is invited to attend.
Mark received a B.A. degree from Albion College in 1972 with a double major in geology and biology. He then attended the University of Texas in Austin where he obtained his Ph.D. in 1976. He has spent his career in the oil industry and is currently an independent consulting geologist specializing in the integration of sedimentology and rock characterization with oil reservoir studies and rock physics. He is also a Research Associate at the Denver Museum of Nature and Science in Denver, Colorado
The annual Robert E. Horton Geology Alumni Speaker Series is funded by an anonymous gift to the Albion College Geology Department. The series is named in honor of local alumnus Robert E. Horton, who was born in Parma, Michigan, in 1875 and graduated with a B.S. from Albion College in 1897. Horton’s seminal work in the first half of the 20th century on quantifying the hydrologic cycle has led the American Geophysical Union and the American Meteorological Society to recognize Horton as the father of modern hydrology.
