Join us at ACC's Stem Cafe on April 22 from 3-4pm in M3750 (Main Building - Littleton Campus) to learn what it means to be a geologist. Learn from guest speaker: Zachary Wessel, Chief Geologist - Rocky Mountain/Mid-Continent for Vecta Oil & Gas, Ltd and PhD candidate at Colorado State University.
His dissertation has focused on a detailed study of the Idaho Springs-Ralston Shear Zone and the Moose Mountain Shear Zone. His research interests include the interaction of igneous and metamorphic suites, structural geology, and continental-scale deformational processes. He has an extensive knowledge and understanding of sedimentary processes, hydrocarbon formation, and geophysical data interpretation as related to natural resource exploration. Collaborated on rare mineral exploration, environmental and remediation, and renewable resource projects throughout North America and the Caribbean. He also runs a small woodworking business that recycles used wine and spirit barrels into furniture and other artistic pieces.
