I belong to the Petrology and Tectonics Research Group at SFU. We undertake research in areas ranging from structural geology and crustal seismology to mineralogy and geochemistry. We commonly co-supervise graduate students and provide them with intensive and integrated training in petrology and tectonics. Field work forms the basis for many of our students' programs.

Research:

My students and I work on field-based projects that typically include structural, metamorphic, and U-Th-Pb geochronologic analyses of rocks exhumed from mid- to lower crustal levels during and after orogenesis.
