Congratulations to Professors Miles A. Henderson, PhD and Mohamed Zobaa on their recent promotion from Assistant to Associate Professors in the department. We look forward to this next stage of their careers, student mentorship, teaching, and research. #falconsup
About us
The Department of Geosciences focuses on the nature, genesis, and history of the Earth. UTPB's department investigates the structure of the Earth, its sedimentary cover, the environment, and major changes that have affected life through time. The department encourages students to investigate how earth processes have shaped the economic value of the Permian Basin. We also encourage interdisciplinary studies both within the geosciences and through other departments and programs.

UT Permian Basin Geosciences reposted this
Happy National Intern Day! UTPB undergraduate geology senior Rosendo Saldana and graduate geology senior Alonso Alzua are both working as interns at Diamondback Energy this summer ⚙️ Alzua is working as a geophysicist helping asset geologists and reservoir engineers understand earth subsurface properties to find and produce hydrocarbons efficiently. Saldana’s summer project at Diamondback integrates geology, petrophysics, operations, and data analytics to refine targeting and be predictive for future wells to drill. “Being able to interact and collaborate with many geologists and engineers, because everyone has their door open, is what makes the work environment at Diamondback so great,” said Saldana.

MS Candidate Abdulqudus Mohammed recently started an internship with Endeavor Energy Resources, LP. We’re excited for the opportunity for him and the practical experience he will return to campus.
MSc Geology Candidate | Geophysical & Petrophysical Analysis | Seismic Interpretation | Well Log Analysis | Energy & Environmental Solutions
This has been my first week working as a Geology Intern at Endeavor Energy Resources, LP. I am grateful to God, the faculty at UT Permian Basin Geosciences, and the people at SEG EVOLVE / EVOLVE Professional and SLS for their contributions to my growth. I would also like to appreciate the Recruiting team at Endeavor and UTPB Career Services for making this happen. Quite excited and looking forward to a quality time of learning.

Congratulations Trinity! We look forward to having you continue your research in the coming years.
This academic year has been extremely successful for me. I presented my undergraduate reasearch at the 7th Annual Geoscience Symposium which was hosted by UTPB. My research was focused in the Yola Basin in Nigeria, and aimed to classify a known basin wide event known as the Pediastrum (a fossilized green algae) Bio-acme event! The results were amazing and I look forward to future research ventures! Special thanks to Mohamed Zobaa who was my mentor through the research and is truly an amazing person to work with! I have the honor of presenting my poster at the North American Paleontolgy Convention in Ann Arbor, and look forward to meeting others and networking! I will post the poster soon on research gate so everyone can get the scoop!

Jim White who is the Executive Director of SEG spent the afternoon with us. He spoke to us on the Opportunities for Geoscientists in the Energy Addition. He reiterated the importance of belonging to professional bodies such as the SEG laying much emphasis on the benefits to students. It was an afternoon well spent.
