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 (Alberta and BC), and along the eastern margin of North America.

Mar 2025 - congratulations to Joel's first publication from his PhD research in southeastern Yukon. Check out Padgett et al., 2025 Jan 2025 - the call is now open for submitting proposals for the Annual Graduate Student Research Award from the Calgary Geo-and Thermochronology Lab. Deadline for submission is 15 March - find the guideline here. Dec 2024 - we wish everyone a happy holiday season and a successful and healthy 2025. Check out our Annual Newsletter to see a synthesis of our activities in 2024 Oct 2024 - we went to TRIUMF to conduct our first heavy-ion irradiation in support of fission track length measurements. Several of our applications will profit from this. |
