Ph.D. Kansas, 1991

My research is dedicated to applying a variety of field and laboratory techniques toward understanding the rates and mechanisms of crustal growth and deformation. I use basic field mapping, petrology, U-Pb geochronology, and Sm-Nd, Rb-Sr and U-Pb isotope geochemistry in orogenic belts to unravel their history of magmatism and deformation. Fundamentally, this research is applied to understanding how the continents
have grown and been stabilized throughout Earth history.
