Biography

Stephen Hubbard is a Professor at the University of Calgary, serving as Vice-Dean in the Office of the Dean. He earned his PhD in Geological Environmental Sciences from Stanford University in 2006 and an MSc in Earth Atmospheric Sciences from the University of Alberta in 1999. His research focuses on sedimentary systems, particularly clastic sedimentology and basin analysis. Current projects include the study of foreland forearc basin evolution, geochronology, and stratigraphic architecture in several regions, including the Alberta Foreland Basin and the Magallanes Basin in Chile. He also investigates deep-water channel sedimentary processes and paleoenvironmental reconstructions of early hominid landscapes at Olduvai Gorge, Tanzania. In addition to his academic responsibilities, he participates in university strategic initiatives including the Chile Slope Systems Joint Industry Project, aimed at understanding sediment transfer processes and the stratigraphic architecture related to hydrocarbon reservoirs. He has received several awards for his teaching and research excellence, including the Excellence in Teaching Award and the Great Supervisor Award from the University of Calgary.
