PROFESSIONAL INSTRUCTION

Dr. Robert Font has designed, developed and presented short courses throughout the Western Hemisphere. Now, he, in cooperation with AIPG and the University of Offenberg in Germany, has harnessed the power of the Internet to make these course available to you online. See our available courses listed below.

Coming Soon - Geotechnical Properties of North-Central Texas Shales

The Geology of Texas - The Basal Cretaceous

Accompany us on a tour of some selected outcrops through the type section of the basal Cretaceous Comanchean Series in central Texas. Within this area we find some of the best exposures of lower Cretaceous strata anywhere around the globe. In our coverage, we will emphasize various aspects of the development, stratigraphy, sedimentology, structure and paleontology of these units. It is also our aim to provide you with additional historical and geographical data that will make this virtual field tour both interesting and informative.

Practical Petroleum Geoscience

This comprehensive survey course covers the principal geological, geophysical, engineering and economic principles and techniques that are used in petroleum exploration and production. Dr. Font has delivered this course both nationally and internationally, at the University of Texas at Dallas, for Union Pacific Resources, and (sponsored by AAPG) for the Center of International Education and Development (CIED) of PDVSA in Caracas, Venezuela. Now it is available to you over the internet. Click here for additional information.

Well Logs and Log Analysis for New Hires

Approximately 180 powerpoint slides covering a review of the well log types used in petroleum exploration and development. This course is useful not only for "new hires" but anyone interested in recognizing the types of logs historically and currently run, information that the logs may provide and application of this knowledge to real world situations. Details are provided here.

Understanding Natural Geologic Hazards -- What Everyone Should Know

This is also a comprehensive survey course (AIPG sponsored) in the form of approximately 500 Powerpoint slides covering our knowledge of geologic hazards and of the techniques we can use to mitigate, control, predict, and even prevent these events. It is currently available for group presentation by Dr. Font and also on CD as reference material.
