   abstract: "I am an economic geologist focused on generating and integrating datasets\
     \ to better understand geological and societal aspects of mineral resources,\
     \ ranging from their formation in mineral systems to documenting mining operations,\
     \ including both active and legacy features.Through my career, I\u2019ve worked\
     \ on understanding rates and sources of geologic processes, and largely approach\
     \ these types of scientific questions using radiogenic isotope geochemistry\
     \ and geochronology, while integrating other sub-disciplinary approaches such\
     \ as sedimentology, structural geology or geophysics. My research interests\
     \ include economic geology, large igneous provinces, batholith formation, supervolcano\
     \ eruptions, igneous petrology, global climate change in deep time, thermochronology,\
     \ the geochemical evolution of the lithosphere, extensional tectonics and the\
     \ development of high-precision geochronology. My research has spanned over\
     \ several continents and included geologic research ranging from the Archean\
     \ to the present, and ore and mineral deposits in the Colorado Mineral Belt,\
     \ the Southern Rocky Mountains, the Arizona-New Mexico porphyry Cu belt, South\
     \ Africa, Croatia, Serbia, China and Nicaragua."
