My research and teaching focus on the tectonic evolution of continents and mountain belts. I use thermochronology, structural geology and isotope geochemistry to understand the evolution and deformation of the continental crust.

I have active research projects in western North America, Australia, Africa, and New Zealand. There are opportunities for graduate & undergraduate student research on many of these projects. Visit the research page of my web site for an overview of projects.

Current Projects

- Damara Orogen, Namibia

- Eocene extension in the Northern Rockies

- Kaoko Belt transpression and transtension

- Basement Tectonics of western North America
