David Deming (born 1954), an American geologist and geophysicist, is an associate professor of Arts and Sciences at the University of Oklahoma in Norman. He graduated from North Central High School in Indianapolis, Indiana in 1972. He then attended Indiana University Bloomington, graduating in 1983 with a BS degree in geology, and received a Ph.D in geophysics from the University of Utah in 1988. Prior to his arrival at the University of Oklahoma in 1992, Deming held a National Research Council postdoctoral fellowship at the U.S. Geological Survey in California. From 1992 through 2003, Deming was an assistant and associate professor in the School of Geology and Geophysics[1] at the University of Oklahoma. An outspoken and controversial professor, Deming was involved in two major disputes with the OU administration, one leading to a lawsuit.[2] Deming is the author of more than thirty research papers and the textbook Introduction to Hydrogeology.[3] He is an associate editor for the academic journals Petroleum Geoscience [4] and Ground Water,[5] and is an adjunct faculty member at two conservative think tanks, the Oklahoma Council of Public Affairs and the National Center for Policy Analysis[6][7]
