ABOUT ME

Thermochronology and Tectonics

I am a post doctoral researcher based at the University of Arizona. I use low-temperature thermochronology to investigate the modern landscape in order to understand the dynamic processes that shape our world.

RESEARCH

Current Projects

  • The growth and reactivation of collisional and  intracontinental orogens in the Tianshan and Central Asia.

  • Understanding Cordilleran orogens and Metamorphic Core Complexes in the western USA

  • Integrating geochemistry with thermochronology in order to better constrain tectonic processess

Thermochronology
At the University of Arizona, I manage the Arizona Fission-Track Laboratory to produce apatite fission-track, apatite U-Pb, and trace and rare earth element geochemistry.

We are always keen for new projects and collaborations!
