I am an earth scientist interested in how landscapes and continents change over geologic time. I use U-Pb geochronology and (U-Th)/He thermochronology to date earth materials and determine the magnitude of heating and cooling events they have experienced in the shallow crust (less than ~ 10 km). I am currently applying these tools to look at how detrital zircon is recycled through different generations of clastic sedimentary rocks.
Areas of Expertise
(U-Th)/He thermochronology, U-Pb geochronology, paleotopography, erosion
