Eujay McCartain

Eujay McCartain serves as an Adjunct Research Fellow at the School of Earth and Oceans, The University of Western Australia, maintaining a part-time academic role while working full-time as a petroleum geoscientist. His expertise centers on basin analysis and unraveling the Carboniferous to Jurassic geological evolution of the southeastern Tethyan margin, with specialized focus on Timor and Australia's North West Shelf.

His research spans East Timor geology, Gondwana reconstruction, Miocene tectonics, Permian stratigraphy, carbonate platform development, foraminiferal biostratigraphy, and terrane analysis. McCartain integrates multidisciplinary approaches to address complex geological questions in under-sampled Gondwanan sectors of the Tethys region, emphasizing paleoenvironmental reconstruction and tectonostratigraphic relationships.

Analysis of McCartain's 2021-2025 publications reveals concentrated research on Triassic-Jurassic sequences in Timor-Leste, featuring advanced biostratigraphic techniques applied to foraminifera and cephalopod limestones. His work consistently bridges sedimentological analysis with tectonic frameworks, particularly examining debris-flows, turbidites, and carbonate platform evolution to resolve Gondwanan margin histories. The publications demonstrate methodological integration across paleontology, stratigraphy, and structural geology.
