Roberto Fainstein

Research Description

Roberto is a Professor of Geophysics at the University of Coimbra, Portugal, with decades of experience in offshore geophysical/seismic exploration with Petrobras, Atlantic, Richfield, and Schlumberger, contributing to the discovery of many significant petroleum reserves. He is an expert on the stratigraphic relationships between massive Deccan-related basalt formations and Cretaceous-Tertiary stratigraphy offshore western India, which are key to understanding the potential effects of volcanism at the K-T boundary.
