Expected graduation date: December, 2021

Sam, pictured on the left, is working in the seismically active Southern Cascadia. He's looking at the Little Salmon Fault and the Goose Lake Fault and associated landforms such as deformed fluvial terraces, using a combination of paleoseismic trenching, exposure age-dating, and GIS mapping.

Dana Christensen, MS

Expected graduation date: December, 2020

Dana, pictured right, is standing next to a road cut of the Miocene Weaverville Fm, a lacustrine to fluvial sedimentary unit preserved in fault-bounded basins in the southern Klamath mountains. She is working on understanding the depositional age, provenance and relation to extensional faulting. Weaverville, CA, is Wintu homeland.

Taylor Team, MS

Expected graduation date: May, 2021

Taylor, pictured left, is standing above the Canyon Creek lakes in the Trinity Alps, Klamath Mountains. This region is characterized by the highest elevation (~9,000ft) and topographic relief in the southern Cascadia forearc, and just north lies the Grizzly glacier. Taylor is using low temperature thermochronology to quantify rock cooling across extensional faults in the Klamaths. Taylor is a recent recipient of a Bud Burke Quaternary Geology & Geomorphology scholarship award.

The Canyon Creeks lakes are a popular backpacking and hiking destination. Check out All Trails for some ideas on where to hike. Canyon Creeks lakes are Chimariko homeland.
