The Deformation Research Group has two primary research directions; tectonic inheritance, and penetrative strain. My students and I target these concepts using remote sensing, analog models, fieldwork and integration with available depth data. Current field areas are the Rocky Mountains, in MT and CO, and I maintain links with colleages in the Middle East. I have worked in the Zagros Simply Folded Belt, Iran-Iraq, the Kalimantan fold-thrust belt, Indonesia and the Llanos Basin in Colombia, as well as the Ozarks in AR and the Rockies.
