Research Interests

My interests include the Geology of Idaho, Belt Supergroup, Windermere Supergroup; Neogene stratigraphy on the Snake River Plain; Stratigraphy and basin analysis. Also, the former field camp director for "Lost River Field Station" in Mackay, Idaho.

Geoscience Teaching

Since I have retired, I have been able to help with several Seminar Field Trips and participate in
Tectonics Reading Classes.
