I'm always interested in hearing from self-motivated students looking to join my research group. 

This could be your office... well at least part of the year!

Please contact me or the students currently working with me for more information

 Using dendrochronology to constrain paleo-earthquakes near Mount Rainier, Washington: 

Improving seismic hazard estimation through analysis and dating of landslides

(Received funding from 2009 NC State Undergraduate Research Award)

Upper Greenwater Lake

In July of 2009, Joe spent a week collecting samples of rooted snags from the bottom of the Upper and Lower Greenwater Lakes for radiocarbon dating.
Joe is working on correlating the timing of landslide movement to known regional paleoseismic events, in order to determine if the landslide damming these two lakes might have been seismically-triggered.
