Research interests
Research and teaching interests are in
sedimentary tectonics/basin analysis, sedimentary petrology, and processes of
sediment transport. Specific research projects include basin analysis of late
Mesoproterozoic siliciclastic sequences in central Arizona; reconstruction of
Cambrian depositional systems in the Rocky Mountains and northern Sonora,
Mexico; fluvial and eolian interactions in Mesozoic strata on the Colorado
Plateau; provenance of Triassic siliciclastics, southern Colorado Plateau;
sedimentologic and petrologic reconstructions of Mid-Paleozoic depositional
systems, N.W.T., Canadian Arctic; provenance studies of mid-Tertiary deposits
in the Jaca Basin, Spanish Pyrenees; petrology of modern river sands in the
Spanish and French Pyrenees; provenance analysis of Early Devonian
siliciclastics in Co. Kerry, southwest Ireland.
