Areas of Interest

Doctoral Degree- Major emphasis was the sedimentology of fluvial sandstones of the lower Miocene in western Nebraska and eastern Wyoming. My research included a detailed petrographic study and computerized statistical analysis of these rocks to distinguish source, fluid transport and environmental conditions of the lower Miocene.

Masters Degree- My major area of interest was sedimentology and glacial geology. My thesis, A sedimentological study of the Niagara Falls Moraine, included the mapping, textural and petrographic study of a glacial deposit. The objective of the study was to locate the provenance of the deposit and to learn the pattern of ice movement in the Ontario basin during the Port Huron Stade of the Wisconsin Glaciation.

B.A. Degree- My major area of interest was Earth Science/secondary education including geology, astronomy, meteorology and oceanography. I am certified to teach earth science (7-12 grade) in New York State.
