W.W. Little Geological Consulting, LLC offers professional expertise in outcrop studies, geological mapping, petrographic analyses, core description, and professional training associated with clastic depositional systems and sequence stratigraphy. We have provided services in both surface and subsurface settings to companies and institutions in the energy (hydrocarbon, coal, and hydrothermal), mining (coal and metals), and environmental (private and public) industries.
Education & Training
LGC offers professional training both domestically and internationally through in-person (at client-preferred localities) and remote formats. Courses are tailored to client specifications. New client-specific courses and field trips will be developed by request.
Consulting
LGC, together with partnering organizations, provides professional surface and subsurface consulting services ranging from outcrop studies and geological mapping to core description of sedimentary, igneous, and metamorphic systems and thin-section petrographic analyses. Past and current clients include hydrocarbon, coal, precious metal mining, and environmental remediation companies and agencies.
Research
Scholarly research activities focus on regional correlation of terrestrial strata in tectonically active areas, application of sequence stratigraphy to terrestrial deposits, distinguishing the relative importance of eustasy and tectonics in the development of terrestrial sequences, base-level controls on fluvial geomorphology, and response of foreland basin fluvial systems to the initiation and development of Sevier- and Laramide-style uplifts.
