About William Little
Owner/CEO
I am a sedimentary geologist with 25+ years experience in sequence stratigraphy, interpretation of clastic depositional systems, and both bedrock and surficial materials field mapping. I hold a Ph.D. in geology from the University of Colorado – Boulder, served as the Director of the Surficial Materials Mapping Program at the Missouri Geological Survey, and for 17 years was the principal sedimentologist/stratigrapher and field camp director for the Department of Geology at Brigham Young University – Idaho. I am now the owner of W.W. Geological Consulting, which specializes in professional training courses, outcrop mapping and field studies, sequence stratigraphic analyses, core logging, and petrography.
