  Ph.D

  Ph.D. diisertation in the Coeur d'Aelne Mining District

  included the mapping both in the deep lead-zinc-silver mines and at the surface. The result was a palinspastic recontruction of the mining district across the Osburn strike slip fault that displaces the northern and southern parts of the mining district over distance a of 24 kilometers. The mapping was both field based and on multiple platforms of remote images to assist in the interpetations.\n\nResearch/Teaching Assistant; as an Reasearch Assistant I worked on the Boise (Idaho) Geothermal Front Project in the Snake River Plain. Developed regional fracture trace/lineament geologic maps that assisted in locating deep boreholes to support geothermal energy extractions in Boise\n\nI also worked on the Idaho State Geologic Map Project with the Idaho Geological Survey- responsible for photogeologic /satellite image interpretations/ map compilation to assist with producing the State Geologic Map; was co-author on the State Geologic Map
