Ph.D., SUNY Stony Brook, 1972
Research Interests
Research interests are focused on calibration of tectonothermal evolution using 40Ar/39Ar mineral ages. Currently active research includes projects in Argentina-Peru-Chile, Greenland, Austria-Slovakia-Romania-Bulgaria, Egypt, Botswana and the southern Appalachians. This work involves integration of detailed petrologic and structural information with 40Ar/39Ar mineral ages in order to calibrate the P-T-t evolution of crystalline terranes.
