My current energies are focused on understanding the interplay between voluminous magmatic arc flare-ups, tectonism (folding and thrusting), and the redistribution of sediments during the Sevier Orogeny in southwest Utah. This work is moving forward in collaboration with Dr. Michael Wizevich of Central Connecticut State University and J. Daniel Quick (current Ph.D. candidate at Missouri S&T) and Dr. William Chandonia (recently graduated Ph.D. student). Our work is being supported by the EDMAP program through the United States Geological Survey and the Utah Geological Survey.
