Chris Toth is a multidisciplinary geophysicist with a keen interest in understanding tectonic structure and crustal composition.  While at the Oklahoma Geological Survey, he used deep seismic data and potential fields surveys to study and map changes in crustal composition, and conducted paleomagnetic and petrologic studies to understand the timing of fluid migration in the subsurface and the diagenetic impacts of said fluids.

After joining BHP Petroleum, Chris continued integrating potential fields, 2D and 3D seismic, and deep tomography data to develop models of crustal structure and composition in numerous basins around the world.  He then went on to be a lead architect of a new play analysis method at BHP as well as developed the geostatistical and computational software that enabled other geologists to apply this new method.  Later, as a geo-data scientist at BHP and Woodside Energy, and working with a highly diverse team of traditional geologists and data scientists, Chris helped deliver global models on hydrocarbon and copper prospectivity, and lead the technical development of global CCUS capacity models.

Chris has a Bachelors and Masters Degree in Geophysics from the University of Oklahoma, a Graduate Certificate in Geographic Information Science from the University of Denver, and is presently pursuing a Masters in Data Science from the University of Colorado at Boulder.
