FIELD EXPERIENCE

Worked for two field summers in 1978 and 1979 along the northeast coast of Cumberland Peninsula, Baffin Island, Canada, on foot and by freighter canoe mapping Quaternary sediments and describing stratigraphic sections. During the summers of 1980 and 1981, worked 150 km of the Arctic coast of northern Alaska on foot and by Zodiak west of Barrow to Wainwright, later using a helicopter to extend the field mapping and stratigraphic work over a field area of 28,700 square km from Wainwright down to Cape Beaufort and west to the Meade River. In early 1984, participated on a 7-day research cruise of the University of Bergen, Norway, conducting seismic studies of Quaternary sediments in several fjords along western Norway. Recent studies in the Beaufort Sea have included participation in joint industry/government coring projects from platforms through the sea ice and man-made ice islands in March, 1985, and February, 1986. Likewise this research involved core-logging and sampling of Quaternary sediments on a 5 week joint industry/government geotechnical drilling program in 1985, and 2 weeks assisting with shipboard government geophysical surveys in September of 1986. Present field work in western and northwestern Alaska involves mapping on foot or by inflatable boat in remote coastal areas of Seward Peninsula, Kotzebue Sound; similar work is ongoing in northeastern Russia.


GENERAL RESEARCH INTERESTS

Research is concerned with late Cenozoic marine and non-marine stratigraphic problems in Arctic regions and in regional correlations and paleotemperature reconstructions, especially across Arctic North America and eastern Russia. Long range research interests are in the paleogeography and sea level history of Alaska and the circum- Arctic coast and in the development of better chronostratigraphic methods combining a number of geochronological techniques.
