My focus is on economic geology, and I run the Mineral Exploration and Deposit Analysis Lab (MEDAL). I use a mixture of field, laboratory, and computational studies to understand a wide variety of ore deposit types. I’m not a specialist, so I use combinations of paleomagnetism, petrology, mineralogy, and geophysical techniques to do this work. Beyond ore deposits, I also have projects in volcanology, tectonics, structural geology, and much more.
