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.
