Overview

William E. Galloway is affiliated with The University of Texas at Austin in the United States. Their research spans several fields within Earth and Planetary Sciences, contributing notably to understanding Earth-surface processes, atmospheric science, archeology, and geophysics.

Their recent published work includes two notable papers. The first, titled Deep-water depositional systems supplied by shelf-incising submarine canyons: Recognition and significance in the geologic record was published in 2021 in the journal Earth-Science Reviews. The second paper, Quantifying the relative contributions of Miocene rivers to the deep Gulf of Mexico using detrital zircon geochronology: Implications for the evolution of Gulf Basin circulation and regional drainage, appeared in 2022 within Basin Research.

Frequent coauthors in these works include:

  • William L. Fisher
  • Ronald J. Steel
  • Cornel Olariu
  • Charles Kerans
  • David Mohrig

Their publications appear primarily in the following research venues:
