ABOUT ME

Interests and background

My research interests include quantifying lithospheric rheology and deformation processes directly from the rock record, as well as using micro- to map-scale deformation structures and timing to reconstruct regional tectonic histories. Much of my current work includes evaluating the rheological, microstructural, and petrologic evolution of quartz, plagioclase, and olivine rich rocks from the middle crust to lithospheric mantle. I am also involved in a project to create seamless intermediate-scale geologic maps that transect the North American Cordillera.


Thanks for visiting this page and please reach out if you have any questions. I am always excited to collaborate on interesting work; see my Research Interests page for more details.
