ESTABLISHED WORK

Laramide Orogenesis (Active Research)

Geologic mapping, structural and stratigraphic analyses, basin analysis, and geo-/ thermochronology, to deduce Laramide tectonic processes and role of flat slab subduction.

​

Post-12 Ma LOCO Transtension (Active Research)

Timing and style of distributed inboard transtensional strain. Deciphering its connection to the eastern California shear zone and Stateline fault within the Pacific-North America plate boundary.

​

Fault Zone Characterization

Structural, mineralogical, and hydrologic analyses. Compare/contrast fault zones hosted in typical and atypical host rocks. Implications for fault processes, ore remobilization, and seismic hazards.

​

NEW / REVIVED WORK

Beartooth arch and Bighorn basin tectonics

Collaboration on these topics would be great - please contact me if you have any interest.
