Peter P. McLaughlin joined the staff of the Delaware Geological Survey as a Senior Scientist in June, 1999, after working ten years in research and exploration in the oil industry. Dr. McLaughlin was raised in Dover, Delaware and holds a B.S. in Geology from the University of Delaware and a Ph.D. in Geology from Louisiana State University.
Dr. McLaughlin's primary research interests are sequence stratigraphy, micropaleontology, ground water and clastic depositional systems. His projects utilize many of the tools and techniques used in the oil industry to address ground-water issues of importance to Delaware.
Dr. McLaughlin has had a joint faculty appointment as Professor in the Department of Geological Sciences, UD College of Earth, Ocean, and Environment (CEOE).
Mid Atlantic U.S. Offshore Carbon Storage Resource Assessment Project, project team member, 2015-present.
Midwest Regional Carbon Sequestration Consortium, geology team member, 2015-present.
Visiting Professor (stratigraphy/sedimentology), Department of Geology, Federal University of Rio Grande do Norte (UFRN), Natal, Brazil, August 1 to October 30, 2013.
Recipient of IHS Markit Educational Grant, acknowledging IHS Markit donation of use of IHS Petra software to support subsurface geologic research and graduate thesis projects (IHSMARKIT.com).
