At the Kentucky Geological Survey, Steve has been involved in the application of sedimentology to energy resources in Kentucky. His primary interests are in applied coal geology, including recognition of subtle controls on coal thickness and quality, and mine-roof stability. Recent work has involved application of bench-scale architectural analysis to coal seams and comparisons of relative effects of eustacy, tectonics, and climate on Carboniferous sedimentation. As the KGS Education Committee Chair and K-12 education outreach representative to Kentucky for several professional societies, Steve has also had the good fortune to be involved in various aspects of education outreach, including construction of the Kentucky Earth Science Education Network on the Web at http://www.uky.edu/KGS/home.htm.
