Teaching and Research Interests
Petroleum Geology, Structural Geology and Tectonics, and Field Geology
Western Colorado University combines an outstanding mountain environment for field instruction with a state-of-the-art computing and science facility in the newly renovated Hurst Hall. My teaching, research and industry work have the common trait of combining traditional field methods with leading-edge technology. Allen Stork, Rob Fillmore, Dave Marchetti and I are committed to mentoring fundamentally grounded, literate and technologically proficient undergraduates toward successful graduate and professional careers.
