Rebekah Grmela
Welcome back to this month's Science Student Spotlights! Throughout the year, we'll be featuring the science and work of some of our best and brightest SEPM Student Members, including some of our SEPM Foundation Research Grant awardees.
Check out some of this month's featured student work:
 | Name: Nataly Chacón Buitrago
School: Colorado School of Mines
Research Statement: Automated Facies recognition using digital outcrop models and Machine Learning
Summary: My project seeks to use supervised machine-learning techniques, to classify facies variability from digital outcrop models, generating quantitative data that can be used to improve spatial facies prediction. The models used in this study were taken in the Guadalupe Mountains in Texas.
