Summary
I graduated from Amherst College in 2020 with a B.A. in Geology. While at Amherst, I was fortunate to participate in a variety of geological research, including organic carbon and mercury content analyses of Ediacaran and Ordovician-Silurian sedimentary formations, as well as structural fieldwork in a fault zone in southwest Montana. For my senior thesis, w88 casinoI conducted field studies, as well as quartz crystallographic preferred orientation (CPO) and grain boundary analyses to investigate Paleoproterozoic deformation in the Ruby Range Mountains of southwest Montana. I am interested in combining microscopic and macroscopic structural analyses, geochemistry, and petrography to study the evolution of orogenic settings.
I am very excited to work with Dr. Stacia Gordon to investigate the crystallographic modes of lead loss and retention in deformed zircons. For my master'w88 live casinos, I will particularly focus on samples from the Western Gneiss Region, an ultrahigh-pressure (UHP), and multiphase metamorphic terrane in Norway.
