I'm currently working in three main areas: regional-scale tectonics and geodynamics in Mongolia, integration of multiple thermochronometers to assess exhumation in the Neoproterozoic, and examination of what controls helium diffusion kinetics and age dispersion in apatite. In general I remain interested in the influence that surface processes have on tectonic processes and dynamics, and what sort of Earth-system feedbacks might involve the solid Earth. By training I'm a geochronologist, and the lab we maintain here at Lehigh carries out a range of applications in noble-gas geochronology (U-Th/He and Ar-Ar). Though we have particular expertise in lower-temperature thermochronology, our work generally involves integrating such data with results from multiple dating methods and constraints obtained from other disciplines. In 2012 we took delivery of an Argus VI multicollector noble-gas mass spectrometer which has proven to be a great instrument. Most recently we're using diode-laser heating to investigate U-Th/He analysis using cumulative heating. But through it all, the lab has remained... proudly acronym-free!
