RESEARCH ACTIVITIES
My research focuses on the geological evolution of the southeastern U.S., especially the metamorphic hinterland in the southernmost Appalachians of Georgia and Alabama. Currently, I am working with colleagues and students on...
The relationship between and geological evolution of igneous and metamorphic rocks of the Wedowee-Emuckfaw-Dahlonega back-arc basin and Dadeville Arc Complex, including how their history affects our understanding of Ordovician geodynamics in ancient North America.
The geology and geometry of the Coastal Plain unconformity in Alabama and Georgia, especially how it pertains to the presence of a potential long-lived paleodrainage system that may be the forerunner to the modern Chattahoochee River.
Strain analysis in ductile shear zones using Rf-Phi analysis on deformed feldspar grains and quartz clasts in conglomerates.
Carbon sequestration via carbonate mineralization in metamorphic rocks.
A purported hypervelocity impact structure in the Pine Mountain belt of Georgia
Improving mineral separation techniques as a means of extracting zircon from mafic rocks and their metamorphic equivalents. For information on our mineral separation processes, including mineral separation services, please see our Mineral Separation Services website.
