My collaborators and I are investigating active structures in the High Himalaya of West Nepal. We were some of the first geologist to visit remote, high-elevation regions and document surface evidence of fault slip on structures within the Western Nepal Fault System, a right-slip system in the upper plate of the Indo-Asian collision. Thus far, I have produced neotectonic maps of 15 distinct sites, processed 29 geochronology samples, and calculated Quaternary fault slip rates at 10 locations. 

I have worked on structural and neotectonic studies that utilize volcanic and geomorphic strain markers to estimate fault initiation ages, kinematics, and slip rates on right-lateral structures in the Walker Lane Belt.
