Marianne Coholich is an Earth Scientist at Chevron, based in the Greater New Orleans Region. She has a strong academic background, having earned her Master of Science in Geological Sciences from Stanford University. During her studies, she was involved in the Stanford Project on Deep-water Depositional Systems (SPODDS), where she focused on analyzing modern sand deposits and their implications for geological risks, particularly in relation to offshore wind farm construction in California.1

Her research utilized advanced techniques such as jumbo piston cores and high-resolution autonomous underwater vehicle (AUV) seafloor imaging to study the Lucia Chica deep-water channel system. This work is significant for understanding earthquake periodicity and reservoir properties in deep-water environments.12

In August 2023, Coholich announced her full-time position with Chevron, where she contributes to projects in the Gulf of Mexico business unit.3 Her LinkedIn profile indicates that she has over 500 professional connections and is actively engaged in her field.2
