Research Statement

I use field study in conjunction with paleomagnetic, rock magnetic, and collaborative stratigraphic, geochemical, and geochronologic approaches to investigate a wide range of geological puzzles. Specifically, I use the unique information encoded in the magnetic and chemical properties of geological materials to understand tectonic, paleoclimate, and paleoecological processes, and to recognize feedbacks between geodynamics, climate change, and surface processes. 

Given the scale of these problems, I draw from a diverse quiver of approaches and strong collaborations with other geoscientists. My work involves a substantial and essential component of field study. I also use archived material (e.g., from ocean and lake cores), as well as construct compilations of magnetic, geochemical, and ecological information. Most of my research involves analytical laboratory work, which includes a variety of magnetic experiments as well as SEM and TEM microscopy. My collaborations include stable isotope, trace-element, and organic geochemistry, low-temperature thermochronology, geochronology, structural analysis, marine micropaleontology, and sedimentary basin analysis.

My research program can be broadly defined into the following three areas (please see my personal website for more information).

TECTONICS & GEODYNAMICS

Most of my past and ongoing projects in tectonics are driven by questions concerning the dynamics of convergent orogens, the suturing process, and the processes responsible for transforming deep marine basins into high mountain ranges. My primary approach to understanding these processes combines field geology, regional synthesis, and paleomagnetism, which is the only means by which we can quantify paleolatitude and the magnitude of vertical axis rotation of crustal materials.

Some examples include:

1) Suture the heart of Asia: Tectonics of the Mongol-Okhotsk Ocean Closure

2) Improving paleogeographic reconstructions with new approaches to assessing bias and precision in global apparent polar wander paths.

3) The suturing process: Insight from the India-Asia collision zone. Specifically, characterizing the paleogeography of Southern Tibet and Greater India for the past 120 million years.

 

GEOCHRONOLOGY & PALEOCLIMATE CHANGE

Many exciting frontiers in the geosciences are focused on recognizing lead-lag relationships between surface processes and tectonics, determining rates of planetary processes, and establishing confidant correlations between intra-basin and global events. I use magnetostratigraphy, often coupled with radiochronology and biostratigraphy, to accurately and precisely date and correlate stratigraphic intervals. I am also developing projects and collaborations that will give my students and me experience applying cyclostratigraphic methods to a variety of surface process studies. Many of my current projects are centered on records recovered during IODP Leg 342 (Paleogene Newfoundland Sediment Drifts), but I also apply these methods to continental sections. 

Some examples include:

1) Timescales of enviromental change across the Eocene-Oligocene Transition, and the Oligocene-Miocene Boundary of the North Atlantic.

2) Astronomical calibration of the Cenozoic geomagnetic polarity timescale.

3) Timescales and field morphology of geomagnetic reversals.

4) Chronostratigraphy of Quaternary volcanism in Intermountain West.

 

CRUSTAL & SURFACE PROCESSES

A substantial component of my research program couples studies of the magnetic properties and mineralogy of rocks with microscopic, chemical, or paleontological methods to study a wide range of geological processes.

Some examples include:

1) Developing non-charcoal-based proxies for modern and paleowildfire.

2) Revealing changes in sediment provenance, orbital controls on lithostratigraphy, and changes in deep-water currents.

3) Detecting and quantifying magnetofossil disparity and diversity during rapid climate change events.

4) Characterizing the rock magnetism of brittle fault zones.

5) Rock magnetic proxies for fluid flow and remagnetization in collisional orogens.

6) Low-temperature and biologically-mediated fluid-rock interactions in young oceanic basalt (e.g., ICDP Surtsey Volcano Drilling Project).

7) Biomagnetic monitoring of air quality and consequences for public health in the Intermountain West.
