From coast to coast, geologist Devin
Dennie has experienced much of what the rocky core of North America has
to offer. Inspired by Earth's varied landscapes, Devin takes pride in
exploring the many unique relationships mankind has with the Earth,
from the scales of the continents, all the way down to our very own
backyards.
Devin has a variety of interests in Earth science,
both professional and academic. At the University of Oklahoma -
Norman, he has researched changes in Earth's ancient magnetic field
preserved in shales and mudrocks after they are buried deep within the
Earth. He has also researched alluvial deposits in the Big Bend of
Texas and carbonate rocks in southern Oklahoma. From floods to gravel,
magnetic fields to limestones, his interests are varied. In addition
to schoolwork and filmmaking, Devin is a petroleum geologist for Devon
Energy Corporation in Oklahoma City, Oklahoma and has taught geology
coursework and laboratory at Texas Christian University and OU.
Devin
has been a self-described "broadcast geologist" since 1999 and enjoys
the creative freedom of educational filmmaking through Explorer
Multimedia Inc., which he helped found in 2002. He has been on-camera
talent for several television and film projects including "North Texas
Explorer (TV)", "GeoAmerica (series)", "RockHounds: The Movie
