Bio

I joined AZGS in April 2007 as their Science Outreach Officer and Section Chief of the Arizona Extension Service. From 1997 to 2007, I was a professor of geosciences at Arizona Western College, Yuma, Arizona; from 2002 to 2006 I was Director of the Honors Program.  Prior to that I was a research scientist at the Center for Nuclear Waste Regulatory Analyses in San Antonio, Texas. 

My training is in physical volcanology with especial emphasis on small-volume basaltic volcanism (re: cinder cones). In pursuit of basaltic lavas I’ve traveled to the Kamchatka Peninsula (Tolbachik system); San Francisco & Mormon Mountain volcanic fields of northern Arizona; the Big Pine volcanic field of Owens Valley, California; the Michoacán volcanic field of Mexico; the  Volcanic Highlands of Guatemala; as well as Nicaragua, El Salvador, and Colombia. 

Currently, my interests include Earth science outreach education and, oddly enough, GPS mapping and GIS analyses of Native American rock-art of southern Arizona.
