Major accomplishments:
Between 1972 and 1977 located hundreds of palynologically productive intervals in eight rift basins of the Newark Supergroup, after previous attempts by other palynologists failed. Through these discoveries, demonstrated that Newark rifting began in the early Carnian, and continued well into the Early Jurassic (to ~180 m.y.a.). Prior to these discoveries, no Jurassic strata were thought to exist along eastern North America, which was in conflict with the time of initial oceanic crust formation being reported for the Atlantic ocean basin (breakup of Pangaea).
Led the oil industry in exploring for oil and gas in continental rift basins of the Newark Supergroup, eastern North America, based on information gained through doctoral research. In 1981 formed Geminoil, Inc. of Houston, and with Cornell Oil Co. of Dallas drilled two deep stratigraphic test wells in the Richmond basin, VA. The rapid downturn in the oil industry in June 1981 precluded testing of five shallow zones. Subsequent seismic data provided an explanation for the trapping mechanism, and establishes a need for structural re-modeling that includes localized compressional deformation in an overall extensional regime (Cornet and Ziegler, 1985). Source rock evaluation and numerous live oil shows in both stratigraphic test wells (as well as in other wells) place the Richmond basin among the top ten areas remaining to be explored in the continental U.S.A. Lack of oil production and investor support precluded further drilling since 1985.
Between 1990 and 1993 was an integral part of the Lamont-Doherty Newark Basin Coring Project, the largest NSF-funded research project established to recover 30 million years of orbitally-forced climatic cycles (i.e. Milankovitch cycles) and paleomagnetic stratigraphy for the Triassic-Jurassic Newark basin (seven coreholes). Combined with improved radiometric techniques (± 100,000 yrs), and ages for basal Jurassic basalts (± 600,000 yrs for the C.A.M.P.), this is the best and longest uninterrupted chronostratigraphic sequence ever studied (Olsen et al, 1996; Olsen & Kent, 1996; Olsen et al., 2004). The research establishes a standard for correlating Late Triassic sequences around the world, and for understanding long-term climatic cycles today (on the order of thousands, hundreds of thousands, and millions of years). http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~polsen/nbcp/peo.cv3.html
1988-1993, extensive field work in the Newark basin of New Jersey and in the Richmond basin of Virginia, mapping strata and collecting fossils. Wellsite geologist for the Newark Basin Coring Project: Described, photographed, and analyzed over 21,000 feet of strata from seven coreholes (1990-1993). http://www.ldeo.columbia.edu/~polsen/nbcp/nbcp.html
1992-1995, completed a 200 square mile geomagnetic survey and map (1,800 stations) of the Wallkill River valley, Orange and Ulster counties, New York, in order to map and define magnetite bodies in granitic masses, which represent erosional remnants of buried and partially exposed islands in the Ordovician Snake Hill, Austin Glenn, Mount Merino, and Balmville formations. Used a Precession Proton Magnetometer.
