M.S. students Jeni Chan and Austin Keirs presented their thesis research at the recent GSA Cordilleran Section meeting in Sacramento, CA (USA). Their presentations centered on our work to understand the record of Jurassic-Cretaceous subduction zone metamorphism and deformation preserved in the Northwest Cascades. Their research was funded by NSF-EAR Tectonics award #1948584 and by the Ned Brown Endowed Chair position at WWU. Use the links below to see the text of our abstracts!
