I am a continental tectonic geologist with ongoing studies in the southwestern U.S. and in the Precambrian of the North American mid-continent.  I use a variety of field and laboratory techniques to better understand continental crustal processes.  I am especially interested in the interaction of magmatism, metamorphism, and deformation at the plate tectonic scale.  During the last decade NSF has continuously funded my research on the structural and tectonic evolution of Proterozoic juvenile crust along the southern margin of Laurentia (north-central U.S.).
