Jianpeng Wang

Jianpeng completed his bachelor and master degree in petroleum geoscience from Jilin University of China, and had 2 years’ working experience in SINOPEC before the PhD study in University of Manchester. His principal research interests are in sedimentology, biostratigraphy and geochemistry on carbonate and source rock. He started his research in NARG from 2014, and his role is to investigate the controlling factors of Cenomanian/Turonian source rock deposition in Moroccan basins related to oceanic anoxic event II (OAE2). His study includes field work in Agadir basin, Errachidia-Goulmima basin and Tarfaya basin of Morocco. Serval methods are being applied, including petrographic analysis (microscope and SEM observation, XRD), organic geochemical analysis (TOC and Rock-eval), inorganic geochemical analysis (carbonate isotope,

He started his research in NARG from 2014, and his role is to investigate the controlling factors of Cenomanian/Turonian source rock deposition in Moroccan basins related to oceanic anoxic event II (OAE2). His study includes field work in Agadir basin, Errachidia-Goulmima basin and Tarfaya basin of Morocco. Serval methods are being applied, including petrographic analysis (microscope and SEM observation, XRD), organic geochemical analysis (TOC and Rock-eval), inorganic geochemical analysis (carbonate isotope, trace and major elements) and biostratigraphic analysis (macrofossils and microfossils, especially foraminifera and ammonite). Overall, the aims are to reconstruct the palaeoenvironments of source rock deposition, and further to investigate the global oceanographic perturbations and local influences on the source rock deposition in Morocco during OAE2 interval.

The PhD is supervised by Prof. Kevin Taylor and Prof. Jonathan Redfern.
