Kirk Schleiffarth is currently a Ph.D. candidate at Northern Arizona University (2014-present). He has experience studying a variety of volcano-tectonic provinces with a variety of techniques. In 2010, he spent several months monitoring and cataloging volcanic activity at Colima volcano in Mexico. From 2012-2014, he investigated the Eocene Challis Volcanic Field in central Idaho for […]
Jesse Walters recently received a MS from Boise State University where he worked with Dr. Matthew Kohn on a NSF funded project studying Himalayan tectonics. He is currently a PhD student at the University of Maine, and studies sulfur isotope systematics during subduction. We are all taught the scientific method at some point: a formulaic […]
Alan Collins is a Professor of Geology at The University of Adelaide and is fascinated by the world and by what the rocks of the world can tell us about how the world works and what it looked like in the past. He has worked with a great set of PhD students and colleagues all […]
Jiu-Long Zhou is a postdoc in the Chemical Geodynamics group at the Institute of Geology and Geophysics, Chinese Academy of Sciences. He utilizes a range of analytical techniques to extract information from igneous rocks for reconstructing the Proterozoic tectonics of Madagascar and South China.
