RESEARCH:

My research focus has been in geoscience education as well as igneous petrology. I have done work investigating the geochemistry of lavas and tephras erupted in the rift zones of Iceland and the continental arc of the Andes for the purpose of describing crustal and volcanological processes.  I have used my familiarity of field geology in locations around the world to build and deliver amazing learning experiences for geoscience students.
