Previous news
- (September 2025) Great turnout for the QTQt workshop lead by myself and Dr. Kerry Gallagher at Thermo 2025
- (August 2025) Dr. Jill Pearse and I received an EDMAP award for students to do surface and subsurface mapping in the Walker Lane Belt. Potential MS students interested in using Geophysical methods to map subsurface structure should reach out to either of us about joining the project!
- (July 2025) My first Masters Student, Vinny Ruiz, successfully completed his thesis! Stay tuned for our publication (sneak peak: cosmogenic nuclide dating reveals complex sediment deposition patterns in the Argentina Precordillera)
- (Summer 2025) Successful field season taking new students to three different basins in NV to collect samples, map faults, sediments, and volcanic rocks, and collect GPS profiles across Quaternary deformation features. Next steps are sample and data processing!
- (May 2025) The GSA Rocky Mountain Section meeting in UT was a wonderful conclusion to our cohort based research in CO. Dr. Alex Tye and I worked with seven undergraduates who each presented their own sub-projects at the meeting. Thanks to an AGeS-DiG award for partial funding on this project
- (January 2025) Dr. Kendra Murray and I received an AGeS-TRaCE grant to continue building community resources for thermal history modeling of low-Temperature thermochronology data!
- (July 2024) Thrilled to announce that I have been awarded an NSF CAREER award from the Tectonics Division!
- (July 2024) Awesome field season in Colorado with our new AGeS cohort of undergrads from CSULB and UT! We are rift growth and basin connectivity and how rivers evolve around active faults.
- (February 2024) New paper! Tracing short-lived hydrothermal circulation systems and water–rock interactions around small-scale intrusions
