Dr. James N. Kellogg, is a Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences, Director of the Andean Geophysical Laboratory, at the University of South Carolina, Editor-In-Chief of the Journal of South American Earth Sciences, and Co-Director of the GEGEO program. Jim pursued geophysical and structural studies of the northern Andes, funded by the Venezuelan Ministry of Energy and Mines, for his M.A. (1978) and Ph.D. (1981) in geology and geophysics at Princeton University. In 1987 he joined the faculty of the University of South Carolina as professor of applied geophysics. His principal research interests include geodetic, gravity and tectonic studies of active margins and the Andean orogenic belt where he has worked for the last 30 years. Funding is from industry sponsors and the National Science Foundation.

John Ceron is a PhD student in Geology working on the Caribbean Basin of Colombia. He has a MSc in Geophysics from the Colorado School of Mines and has been working with ECOPETROL S.A. (National Oil Company of Colombia) for the last 15 years. John is an applied geoscientist with ample experience in the integration of geological information with gravity, magnetics, seismic and remote sensing data in the search for hydrocarbons and ore deposits and in the assessment of environmental problems. He is also skilled in the use of instrumentation, interpretation software, GIS and data integration tools.
 

 

Obi Egbue is a PhD student in Geology working on the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia and adjacent basins. His research involves the integration of potential field data (gravity and magnetics) with seismic data, to develop a regional cross-section across the Eastern Cordillera of Colombia. Obi has a Bachelor's degree from the Federal University of Technology Owerri and has some experience working in both the oil industry and the IT sector. His work at the Andean Geophysical Lab involves the use of GM-SYS, Geosec 2D, and ArcGIS softwares.

 

 

   

 

Adriana Chacon began working as the International Project Manager for the GEGEO (Guinea Equatorial GEOscience) program in April 2003. The GEGEO program is training Equatorial Guinean students in geology and geophysics in cooperation with the National University of Equatorial Guinea (UNGE) in Malabo. She attended USC's English Program for Internationals (EPI) for six months in 2001. Before coming to USC, Adriana worked in marketing and sales in Colombia for 11 years after receiving a degree in advertising and marketing from the Catholic University in Manizales. Her hometown is Palmira in the beautiful Cauca valley of Colombia.
