Paul V. Heinrich (retired)

Research Associate 4

Paul V. Heinrich, M.S. is a retired geologist formerly with the Louisiana Geological Survey. He earned his B.S. in Geology from Louisiana State University and his M.S. in Geology from the University of Illinois at Urbana–Champaign. During his career at LGS, his work focused on Quaternary geology and geoarchaeology in Louisiana and the southeastern United States. His research interests included geologic mapping, coastal plain stratigraphy and geomorphology, neotectonics, meteorite impact structures, and the geology of Pleistocene sediments. Prior to and alongside his work at LGS, he held positions with state geological surveys, the energy industry, and archaeological consulting firms.
