Research Partnerships and Interests

I am a Research Scientist at the Geological Survey of Canada Pacific and a research partner with Northwest Territories Geoscience Office. My research interests include integrated stratigraphy, sedimentology, micropaleontology, basin analysis, correlation, Cordilleran geology, and paleogeography. My field areas in the Canadian Cordillera include the Southern and Northern Rocky Mountains of British Columbia and Mackenzie, Wernecke, and Richardson Mountains of the Northwest Territories and Yukon Territory.
