Bio:

I am a structural geologist with interests in Laramide tectonics, fault-related folding, fabric analysis and Rocky Mountain geology in general. My field-based research on basement-involved Laramide structures is currently being combined with seismological data from our NSF/EarthScope Bighorn Project to generate new hypotheses for the formation of the Rockies.

Area of Expertise:

I am a structural geologist with interests in Laramide tectonics, fault-related folding, fabric analysis and Rocky Mountain geology in general.

Interests & Studies:

Structural geology, Laramide tectonics, fault-related folding, petroleum geology, scientific methods, spatial and fabric analysis, cleavage development, Precambrian geology and tectonics
