Emma's CV

I am an MS student working with Dr. Barbara Carrapa and Dr. Paul Kapp to study the tectonic configuration of the western North American margin throughout the Mesozoic. Originally from Cleveland, Ohio, I received my BS in Geology from the University of Utah in 2024. My current research focuses on employing geochronology, thermochronology, and field techniques to resolve the thermal-tectonic history of the Tyaughton-Methow forearc basin, located in the southern Chilcotin Mountains of southwestern British Colombia. I am working to constrain the timing and nature of sediment deposition and characterize source terranes of this basin strata to better understand the tectonic configuration and timing of terrane accretion with respect to the western North American margin. I aim to use these interpretations to discriminate between competing models of subduction polarity and terrane paleogeography.
