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.
