Garry D. Karner

Garry has had an extensive geoscience career beginning as a young graduate from Flinder's University working at the Australian Bureau of Mineral Resources, followed by a Ph.D. program at the Lamont-Doherty Earth Observatory that expanded into a twenty-year research career, and finally, a 20-year career with ExxonMobil. Garry’s business role with ExxonMobil has been to develop innovative, business-applicable and scientifically supported exploration solutions in highly challenged frontier margin settings using quantitative modeling of basin-formation processes and a geo-logic approach to seismic interpretation and regional geologic and tectonic integration.
