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 the Northern Canadian Cordillera (NWT and Yukon) and in the Southern Canadian Cordillera. July 2020 – Associate Professor, University of Calgary (tenured)

News:
Nov 2021 - farewell to Scott Jess, after almost 3 years he is leaving our group to start a new position with Lindsay Schoenbohm in Toronto. Oct 2021 - our paper on the exhumation inboard of the Fair-weather plate boundary and the eastern Denali Fault was published in Enkelmann & Falkowski, 2021 Geosphere Oct 2021 - congratulations to Scott Jess publishing a paper on the longevity of hot springs. Jess et al., 2021 JGR-Earth Surface Oct 2021 - our paper on the Rocky Mountain Trench was published in Tectonics. This work was conducted by Kelley in the course of her master thesis, as well as Ryan Grieco's bachelor thesis. Well done. Fraser et al., 2021 Tectonics Sept 2021 - congratulations to Emily Johns-Buss (graduate student at Memorial University) who won the 2021 Graduate Student Research Award of the Calgary Geo- and Thermochronology Lab. The award will help Emily to investigate the the timing and rates of the Appalachian basement in Eastern Newfoundland. Sept 2021 - congratulations to Joel Padgett who received Alberta Graduate Excellence Scholarship (AGES) June 2021 - our paper on the seismicity of the Eastern Denali Fault has been featured by IRIS |
