Projects & Experiments:

– Aerial LiDAR Survey of the San Rafael, UT Exposed Subsurface Volcanic Features. Data at doi:10.5069/G908638S. Data acquisition and processing completed by the National Center for Airborne Laser Mapping.

– Graduate Student Co-I on NASA Mars Data Analysis Program Project: "Evaluating the Role of Distributed Volcanism in the Development of the Tharsis Region of Mars."

– A Python Code I wrote to evaluate spherical harmonic coefficients is up on GitHub.

– Developed and taught GLY4045: Planetary Geology, Fall 2013.

– USF's College of Arts and Science Blog. After a magnitude 7.6 earthquake in Costa Rica, I traveled with another graduate student to the epicenter to track the plate motion using GPS instruments.

– Dike Experiments in Gelatin

– USF's Geology Graduate Student Org Website
