He has worked in the petroleum industry for Sun Company, the minerals industry for St. Joe Minerals Corporation, and the nuclear waste repository program for Westinghouse Hanford Co. Gregg studies sedimentary petrology and geochemistry and applies his expertise to research on the origin of dolomite and the origin and distribution of hydrocarbons and base metals in sedimentary basins. Gregg was the recipient of a Fulbright Scholarship to University College Dublin and was a visiting geology professor at the University of the Western Cape in South Africa. He served on the scientific team for the Integrated Ocean Drilling Program Expedition 307. He has authored or co-authored more than 70 professional technical publications on these subjects. Gregg earned bachelor’s degrees in geology and biology at Bowling Green State University, a master’s in geology from Oklahoma State University and a doctorate in geology from Michigan State University. Gary Lawson PORTRAIT “Much of my teaching and research involves carbonate rocks — limestone and dolomite — and how fluids, such as oil and gas, are generated and move in sedimentary basins. This is important to understanding the origin and distribution of petroleum reservoirs in Oklahoma and elsewhere in the world.” Jay M. Gregg V. BROWN MONNETT CHAIR OF PETROLEUM GEOLOGY
