Home: Welcome

Hi :) I am an interdisciplinary field geologist at the University of Arizona broadly interested in the behavior of the outermost shell of Earth.  My PhD has focused on the structural and thermal evolution of Cordilleran fold-thrust belts.  I am especially interested in the Andes between 32-35°S and the Helena salient of west-central Montana.  My M.S. work was in western Montana, focusing on the development of the Anaconda metamorphic core complex.


I am a structural geologist and thermochronologist who integrates geologic mapping, field observation, low-T thermochron, geochronology, and various modeling techniques.  Our team integrates datasets spanning micro- to macroscopic scales within a regional context to test and develop tectonic and geodynamic models. I am involved in field-based projects in Argentina, Chile, the western interior USA, and south-central Tibet.

I'm passionate about science communication, dedicating significant time to online outreach efforts focusing on modern geoscience + planetary science research and tips for success at the undergraduate and graduate levels.
