Research:
I have two main areas of research interest. 1) The structural evolution of continental crust, both extensional and contractional, and the orogenic models that predict their behavior. 2) The structural controls of hydrothermal fluids, mainly in amagmatic settings within the Basin and Range of the Western U.S. My main approach is detailed geologic mapping coupled with construction of balanced and restored cross-sections, apatite and zircon thermochronology, geochronology, and peak temperature data using RSCM (Raman spectroscopy on carbonaceous material). See my research and publication pages for more details.

Whats New (updated 3-27-19):
I will be starting Fall 2019 as an Assistant Professor at Stephen F. Austin State University. If you are a prospective M.S. student interested in field based mapping projects in the Oachitas or western U.S. please get in touch.
