Research interest

Dr. S. George Pemberton's field of research and expertise are in the general field of ichnology, the investigation of animal-sediment interactions in both recent and ancient environments. Current research activities include the application of trace fossil studies in sequence stratigraphy and the exploration and exploitation of hydrocarbons and coal, with emphasis on the Cardium and Viking Formations, the Athabasca and the Cold Lake oil sands of Alberta, as well as the offshore Hibernia, Ben Nevis, Terra Nova, and Venture fields.
