My research involves applying geophysical techniques to the study of the lithosphere and its tectonic evolution. My current efforts are concentrated on collecting, processing and interpreting a variety of seismic reflection, seismic refraction and potential field datasets.
Interpretation also requires integration of associated geophysical, geological and geochemical data.
The primary motivation driving this research is simply to understand the structure and evolution of the lithosphere. Transect spans the northern Canadian Cordillera and extends to the oldest crust in the earth located near Yellowknife in the Northwest Territories. I am working on analyzing Line 22, acquired along the Stewart-Cassiar highway. This line traverses the Coast Belt and passing into Stikinia. This line crosses a portion of the Cascadia subduction zone and images both the continental Moho and the subducting oceanic slab.
