Piezometry and Strain Rate Estimates Along Mid-Crustal Shear Zones
Dynamically recrystallized quartz microstructure and grainsize evolution along mid-crustal shear zones allows for the estimation of tectonic driving stresses and strain rates acting in the mid-crust. Quartz-rich tectonites from three exhumed mid-crustal shear zones, the Main Central Thrust (MCT; …

Constraining Metamorphic and Tectonic Evolution in Convergent Terranes: How Trace Elements and Mineral Inclusions Shape Mechanical and Reconstructive Models
… mobility, and heating duration. The ubiquity of quartz in the continental crust has driven much interest in using the phase for thermobarometric purposes. In this dissertation, I discss the application of elastic theory in reconstructing conditions of inclusion encapsulation through inclusion …

Mineral deposition in epithermal deposits formed through flash vaporization and implications for improved understanding of the Arista intermediate-sulfidation epithermal deposit in southern Mexico
… of banded veins and associated breccia, with quartz being the dominant gangue mineral. Petrographic evidence suggests that much of the quartz in these veins formed through recrystallization from a thermodynamically silica precursor. Recrystallization of this originally microspherical …
