Honored to have given two invited talks at #GSAConnects2025 — one on the exhumation of high-pressure rocks in the Andes, and another reporting on the Penrose 2025 Conference on Eclogites. Grateful for the discussions, colleagues, and energy of this amazing community! 🌎⛰️🪨

Excited to join #GSAConnects2025 with the @UNC_EMES team! EMES is proud to showcase research on subduction, orogens, climate, uplift, and more! Come find us, connect, and be part of the conversation! 🔥🗻

Sonoma Coast Field Trip @ GSA Penrose / IEC-15: What Insights Do Subduction Complexes Provide into Subduction Processes?

GSA Penrose/IEC-15 @California — at DoubleTree by Hilton Sonoma Wine Country.

Franciscan at Tiburon Peninsula - Embracing a Brighter Future for Subduction Reserach with GSA Penrose 2025 / IEC-15 ⛰️🐍🌋🫨🪨

After two years in the making, we are heading to California 🍇 for this extraordinary meeting that we have been organizing. Approximately 100 subduction experts from around 20 countries will gather to shed light on our field and discuss the next steps. 🪨⛰️🌋🌎🫨

Very proud of my graduates, both award winners of our EMES research symposium and graduate excellence AY24-25 🎉🪨⚒️
