I am a geochemist interested in the processes that drive mountain building, crustal evolution, and landscape change. Low-temperature thermochronology (T ≈ 40–300 ˚C) is my primary tool because it is applicable to a wide range of interesting problems in the Earth sciences.

Applied Thermochronology

MEthod Development

Helium thermochronology methods are advancing rapidly as we improve (1) our understanding and measurement of He diffusion in minerals and (2) our ability to robustly interpret He cooling ages as the timing of an event in Earth history and/or a rate of some Earth system process.
