I am a field-based sedimentologist and geochronologist who uses sedimentary basin records to understand drivers and consequences of changes in tectonism and climate along convergent margins. My PhD research focuses on the key processes controlling unconventional reservoir development within mixed carbonate and siliciclastic systems in southern California.
Current Research Projects
Pennsylvanian and early Permian outcrops of the Keeler/Darwin Basin, east-central California: Analogs for deepwater Permian Basin stratigraphy
