My research focus is on the evolution of mountain belts over a range of length scale from hundreds to tens of kilometers. I am especially interested in understanding the evolution of landscapes that result from the interaction of tectonic forces and surface processes.
The main methods I am using are low-temperature dating techniques such as fission-track analysis and U-Th/He dating applied to bedrock and sediments to quantify the thermal history of Earth's upper crust. These data are combined with other geo- and thermochronology data, structural measurements, geomorphology, sedimentology, geophysical data, and numerical modeling. I have been working in research projects located in India, central China, Myanmar, Argentina, western US, Alaska and the Canadian Cordillera. Currently I have active research projects in southeast Alaska, western Yukon and southern Alaska. 2017 - today Assistant Professor, University of Calgary

News:
Feb 2019 - our reconnaissance data, revealing Oligocene deformation at the eastern front of the Northern Canadian Cordiillera (Mackenzie Mountains) was just published in Terra Nova.
Jan 2019 - we just published in GSA Bulletin our zircon fission track and U-Pb double dating study from the Cook Inlet Basin in Alaska. This study shows the affect of different subduction styles on the geology of the upper plate - recorded in the forearc basin strata.
Jan 2019 - We are hosting a special session on "Quantifying Timing and Rates of Geologic Processes - (SS-GH20)" at the GAC-MAC 2019 meeting in Quebec City. Please submit your abstract before January 28, 2019. Will Matthews and I are also hosting a 1-day post conference short course on: Rates and Dates: Geo-and Thermochronology Methods and Application.
Jan 2019 - Anna Schartman's undergraduate research project on the exhumation pattern at the northern end of the Fairweather Fault was just published in Lithosphere. Well done Anna!
Jan 2019 - We welcome Dr. Scott Jess, who will conduct postdoctoral research in the Geo-and Thermochronology Group.
