I utilize geomorphology, structural geology, field work, and geospatial analyses to study active fault zones. I have worked on the central San Andreas fault, Denali fault, Wasatch fault, Lost River fault, and a number of other normal faults throughout western North America. I also am interested in connections between society and geologic hazards, addressing questions about vulnerable populations that may be exposed to these hazards.
