Juergen Schieber- Geoscience Adviser
Juergen advises DigiM on geoscience technology and applications. Juergen, also known as “The Shaleman”, is the world-renowned expert and pioneer in unconventional resources. His work, characterized by a holistic approach to shales long before the industrial shale revolution, consists of an integration of field studies (facies, stratigraphy) and lab studies (thin sections, electron microscopy, and geochemistry) that leads to a fundamental understanding of shales. He is a professor of geology at Indiana University, with extensive publications (152 papers, 20 guidebook chapters, 4 books, and 292 conference abstracts). He is a member of the science team that currently explores the geology of Gale Crater on Mars with NASA’s Curiosity rover.
