Milly Wright has spent the last 15+ years working the field of chemostratigraphy and bulk elemental analyses, and as Director of Operations for Chemostrat Inc, in Houston has studied elemental datasets and their interpretations in a wide variety of depositional environments and plays all over the world. Milly is originally from the U.K. and graduated with her undergraduate degree in geology from the University of Leicester in 2000, she then completed her master’s degree in geology from the University of Houston in 2010. Her graduate research largely focused on identifying facies and provenance changes using an integrated chemostratigraphic and sequence stratigraphic approaches in the Ferron Sandstone, Utah. Over the last few years, Milly’s research has predominantly focused on resource plays, regularly presenting at local and national conferences. Milly is also currently the secretary for the Gulf Coast Section of the SEPM. Outside of work Milly spends her time on the dance floor and is an experienced Ballroom/Latin dancer and instructor.
