Tucson, Arizona 85721

Current Teaching (Fall 2008)

Geological Disasters and Society (two classes), one for 150 general education students, another for 25 honors students.

Research Interests

Field-oriented structural geology, with particular emphasis on the study of faults, folds, shear zones, and fracture systems within mountain belts and plateau provinces; and formation of geologic structures today in the context of active plate tectonics.  Main regions of interest have been Colorado Plateau and Basin and Range tectonic provinces of American Southwest.  Current interests primarily the earthquake geology and tectonics of the Aegean region in relation to archaeology.

Current Research

Mt. Lykaion Excavation and Survey, Arcadia, Greece:  Responsible for analysis of the geological dimensions of the archaeology and history of the Sanctuary of Zeus in the ancient Greek region of Arcadia, southern Peloponnesus.  Principal investigators are archaeologists Dr. David Gilman Romano (Research Archaeologist, University of Pennsylvania) and Dr. Mary E. Voyatzis (Department Head of Classics, University of Arizona), working in cooperation with and permission of the 5th Ephorate of Antiquities, Sparta, and the American School of Classical Studies, Athens.  A seven year project, my field work began July, 2004.
