Welcome!
I am a structural geologist who conducts field-based research to study how feedbacks between deformation and metamorphism modulate crustal rheology. I have used this approach to study mechanisms of orogenic collapse in the North American Cordillera. My current and future research is directing this approach towards understanding the rheology of (paleo)seismogenic fault systems and the feedbacks that control the mechanics and seismic slip modes of the deep seismogenic zone. I am currently a Research Scientist at the Nevada Bureau of Mines and Geology at the University of Nevada, Reno. I really enjoy studying tectonic processes from the plate scale to the grain scale, and learning how micro-scale processes influence crustal-scale phenomena.
