New Stuff:

•August 2012 to August 2013: I'm on sabbatical, at the Centre de Recherches Petrographiques et Geochimique (CRPG).

•Check out Stuart Thomson's recent paper on the landscape evolution of subglacial East Antarctica. This got a nice News & Views, and some good publicity, for example here, here, and here. This is also closely related to UA alum Clare Tochilin's cool paper on Antarctic erosion, here.

•Check out Willy Guenthner's () new website.

•Check out the recent paper led by Jay Quade on the mysterious rubbing boulders of the Atacama, in here:

. And while you're at it take a gander at some of the cool SEM pics in the oft-overlooked DR. What up with the Si-coating?

•The 40th Annual GeoDaze!, March 2012

•CIFAR field trip to Kohala volcano, February 2012

•GEOS 474/574: Geochronology & Thermochronology, Spring Semester 2012

Less New, But Still Newish Stuff:

•Field trip to the Tucson Mountains, November 2011
•Photos and stuff from Antarctichron 2011
•Check out our recent paper on Clinker geochronology, the first glacial maximum, and landscape evolution in the northern Rockies, in here:

.
•GEOS 400-500: Introduction to Geochemistry, Fall Semester 2011
•GEOS 342: Evolution of the Earth, Ocean, and Atmosphere, Fall Semester 2011
•GEOS 218: Geologic Disasters & Society, Spring Semester 2011
•FOP Field trip to the Henry Mountains, October 2010
•Check out our recent paper, led by Stuart Thomson, on Glaciation as a destructive and constructive control on mountain building,in here:

. Also see Jean Braun's excellent News & Views on the paper.
•"Field" trip to the Galiuros, September 2010
•Field trip to the Yosemite and the Eastern Sierra, July 2010
•Field trip to the Stansburys, July 2010

Stuff that's starting to wear out its newness, but I don't want to take down and you might find interesting:

•GEOS 342: Evolution of the Earth, Ocean, and Atmosphere, Fall Semester 2010
•Field trip to the Huachucas, February 2010
•GEOS195K: Contemporary Earth System Science, Fall Semester 2009
•Check out this paper with David Shuster, Thermochronology and Landscape Evolution, in Physics Today
•Check out this paper on Nonmonotonic cooling histories and multithermochron, recently published in GCA
•Photos from the July 2009 field trip to the Washington Cascades
•COSA: photos from the January 2009 field trip to the Atacama Desert
•COSA: photos from the May 2008 field trip to the Central Andes


Background
I'm a Professor here in Geosciences at the University of Arizona, since August 2006, where I work on thermochronology, geochemistry, tectonics, and petrology. Before that I received my PhD in Earth and Space Sciences at the University of Washington , did a postdoc in the Division of Geological and Planetary Sciences at the California Institute of Technology , and was on the faculty in the Department of Geology at Washington State University, and in the Department of Geology & Geophysics at Yale University.
