| RESEARCH INTERESTS AND EXPERIENCE |
Geologic, geochemical, and geochronologic studies of silicic magmatic systems: continental calderas and granites; physical volcanology; volcanic-hosted geothermal systems and epithermal ore deposits; magmatic concentration of ore metals; contribution of volcanic eruptions to atmospheric chemistry; climate-eruption linkages; geoarcheology; geologic field studies in the Sierra Nevada, Great Basin, Alaska, Mexico, Honduras, Chile, and Italy.

| TEACHING |
At the introductory level I teach courses on Fundamentals of Geology (GES1), Geology of Death Valley (GES49), Volcanoes of the Eastern Sierra (GES51), and Geologic Hazards of California (Stanford Sophomore College). All involve field trips! I also teach a senior-level course on Volcanology, which has an optional petrographic lab associated with it, and graduate courses and seminars on igneous petrogenesis.
