  1. Congratulations to Nick Cunetta on his M.S. thesis!

    Congratulations to Nick Cunetta who successfully defended his M.S. thesis research! Nick mapped high-grade amphibolite and blueschist units in the Easton terrane combined with garnet geochronology to determine the timing of subduction initiation and the deformation of early subduction zone rocks. Nick's work revealed a complex deformation and metamorphic …

  2. Congratulations to Emily Gates on her M.S. thesis!

    Congratulations to Emily Gates who successfully defended her M.S. thesis research! Emily combined structural mapping, microstructural analysis, and Raman thermometry to demonstrate strain localization along unit boundaries in the Easton metamorphic suite. Her work supports models for progressive acretion of separate regional blueschist units during prolonged subduction. As part …

  3. Congratulations to Katie Lang on her M.S. thesis!

    Congratulations to Katie Lang who successfully defended her M.S. thesis research! Katie's thesis work applied structural mapping and detrital zircon geochronology to test regional correlations between blueschist facies units in the Northwest Cascades and compare the timing of subduction accretion events with other Jurassic-Cretaceous subduction zones along strike in …
