From the Appalachians to the Alps: Constraints on the Timing, Duration, and Conditions of Metamorphism at Convergent Margins
… record are insufficient temporal resolution and processes that overprint or obscure the full record of metamorphism. Understanding what processes are recorded, and why they are recorded, is critical for accurate models of tectonics. This dissertation examines these processes in the metamorphic …

Kinematic evolution, metamorphism, and exhumation of the Greater Himalayan Series, Sutlej River and Zanskar regions of NW India
… influences the efficiency of extrusion and exhumation processes. Attempts to quantify GHS deformation and metamorphic evolution have provided significant insight into Himalayan orogenic development, but these structural and petrologic studies are often conducted in isolation. Penetrative …

Denudation processes in a tectonically active rift on different time scales
… or geothermal systems. The study of extensional processes and the factors that further modify the mainly climate-driven surface process regime helps to identify changes in past and present tectonic and geomorphic processes that are ultimately recorded in rift landscapes. The Cenozoic East African …

Temporal and petrological constraints of ultrahigh-pressure metamorphism and exhumation of crustal material from mantle depths to Earth's surface: Insights from a large and small ultrahigh-pressure terrane
… characterized by slow (>20 Myr) subduction-exhumation histories, and 2) small (~4,000 km2) terranes that have undergone rapid (<10 Myr) subduction-exhumation histories. To better understand the geodynamic processes involved in deep continental subduction and subsequent exhumation of buoyant …
