- As a geologist, I am interested
in anything associated with volcanism!
Consequently, my primary areas of
research are in the realms of
igneous petrology and volcanology.
I mainly work with the silicic end
of the compositional spectrum, examining
the petrogenesis and physical volcanology
of large, caldera-forming volcanoes.
I also have a special interest in
volcanic and petrologic problems
associated with arc-volcanoes such
as the Cascades and Andes. A big
part of my professional life is
my passion for teaching geology,
so I am interested/involved in research
in geoscience education
and teaching techniques.
