Education and/or Training

M.S.	1980	Stanford University, California	Geology
B.S.	1976	Stanford University, California

Areas of Specialization and/or Research Interests

Research on the geology, tectonics, and mineral resources of southwestern Alaska and Prince William Sound

Professional Experience

2003-present	Project Chief, Regional Geologic and Mineral Deposit Data for Alaska's Economic Development. This umbrella project focuses on various parts of Alaska where collection and interpretation of new geologic, geochemical, and (or) geophysical data help define undiscovered metallic resources. The current focus areas are southwest Alaska and Seward Peninsula.
1998-2002	Leader, Kuskokwim Mineral Belt Study. Evaluated the lithologic, geochemical, structural, and tectonic controls of mineralization in the 190,000-km2 Kuskokwim Mineral Belt.
1995-1996	Team Leader and Principal Investigator, Cooperative Research and Development Agreement (CRADA) with Calista Native Corporation to study the geology and metallic resources of the Stuyahok area, Holy Cross quadrangle.
1993-1995	Team Leader, Sleetmute Quadrangle Mineral/Environmental Study.
1984-1992	Team Leader, Mineral Resource Assessment of the Iditarod quadrangle, west-central Alaska.
