A geologist whose an YEC? Hahahaha. I doubt I'd be so lucky to find one.
Steve Austin and Andrew Snelling; both with good mainstream PhDs in geology. Snelling certainly has mainstream professional experience in geology. I don't know as much about Austin, but I would expect he does also. By mainstream I mean outside of the creationist organizations. Both are currently employed by creationist organizations (ICR and AiG respectively).
Having a PhD or professional experience does not make your views automatically worthy of respect. The geology of both these individuals is atrocious. Second guessing how they manage to say what they do is an interesting psychological question, but should not be relevant in addressing the "arguments" themselves.
