My research emphasizes the use of small-scale structures to reconstruct the structural and kinematic histories of high strain zones. I am especially interested in the transition from brittle to ductile behavior in these zones at meso- to microscopic scales. Much of my work is in Death Valley, California where I am also involved with tectonic interpretations.

Teaching Interests

Ultimately, I think this whole science of geology boils down to teaching--if we can't communicate what we've learned, what good is it? Fortunately, the geology department here really values teaching, so there are plenty of people with whom I can share ideas.

Editorial on Geologic Time
....It doesn't take an advanced degree to see that Earth is old.  All it takes is an open mind, a few observations, and some common sense.
