Dr. Akinbobola Akintomide's research involves the integration of geophysical data such as 3D seismic data and well logs, geology data, and biostratigraphy data to understand the structural deformation in salt basins such as the Gulf of Mexico. He researches the formation of salt basins, salt-fault interaction, fault interactions, and their effect on fault-seal analysis. He also evaluates reservoirs for hydrocarbon potentials and CO2 storage.
Dr. Akintomide uses field mapping, geophysical surveys, and remote sensing to interpret fluvial deposits and assess the relationship between subsurface geology and geomorphic features such as coastal subsidence.
