We just published former M.S. student Nick Cunetta's thesis research in GSA Bulletin. For his project, Nick combined field mapping with garnet geochronology to constrain the timing of subduction initiation in the Easton metamorphic suite of the Northwest Cascades. The results document an older history of metamorphism (203 Ma …

2025 GSA Cordilleran Meeting Presentations
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 …

Our research group presented a series of talks and posters at the recent 2023 GSA Cordilleran meeting in Reno, NV. The presentations centered on our work to understand the record of Jurassic-Cretaceous subduction zone metamorphism and deformation preserved in the Northwest Cascades. Our research was funded by NSF-EAR Tectonics award …

Former M.S. student Andy Tholt (now at UC Berkeley) has published his thesis research in Geosphere. In this work, Andy combined field mapping with metamorphic petrology and garnet and monazite geochronology to constrain the boundaries between different tectonic domains in the Famatina margin of Argentina. The results revise existing …
