Home: Welcome

Hi :) I am an interdisciplinary field geologist at the University of Arizona broadly interested in the long-term behavior of the outermost shell of planet Earth.  My dissertation focuses 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.
