Area of Interest

Deciphering the evolution of metamorphic rocks through a combination of field, experimental, theoretical and computational methods is a focus of my research. Research incorporates feedback effects associated with thermal-chemical-mechanical processes in complex systems during fluid-rock interactions, and the effects of fluids on mineral chemistry, phase relations, textures, and P-T-t-X paths; heat and mass transport in geothermal and contact metamorphic settings (and heterogeneous porous media);  novel computational approaches to understanding mineral textural development in metamorphic rocks; and tectonic development of metamorphic terranes in Idaho and NW Maine and various tourmaline-bearing rocks around the world. Additional interests associated with research are teaching mineralogy and its relationship to public policy and 3-D visualization and spatial learning.
