Current students
Hallie Bruce, Graduate Student
K-State
Hallie is currently working on the application of the ∆47/U-Pb calcite thermochronometer to fully elucidate the past tectonic fluid-flow within the Arbuckle Mountains (OK)
William Jarvis, Graduate Student
K-State
William's research focuses on mapping a part of the Nacimiento block in Central California. He already spent more that 3 weeks mapping over there. He is also conducting thermobarometric modeling.
Former students
Chrissy Ward, Graduated in 2020
Sarah Lamm, Graduate Student
K-State
B.Sc from Western Colorado University
Sarah is currently working on a Calibration of Chlorite Composition Using Micro-Raman Analysis. The way to go for future planetary exploration.
Chrissy is applying low-temperature (U-Th/He) thermochronology to constrain the timing of a thermal anomaly emplacement in the Franciscan Group from the Nacimiento block, Central California

Jacob Hughes, Graduated in 2018
Ryan Keast, Graduated in 2018
Now mining geologist at Barrick Gold, NV
Ryan is intersested on the reactivation of structures by the unconventional fracking method, largelly employed in the South part of Kansas and in Oklahoma.
KSU
Jacob was working on the Los Burros Au-district, located in the Monterey disctrict, CA. His research mainly focuses on the deposit characterization. For this he uses stable isotopes, Raman spectrometry and Fluid-inclusions microthermometry
Sylvain Delchini, Graduated in 2018
Hallie Bruce, Undergraduate Student
Now working at French Geological Survey (BRGM)
Orléans, FRANCE
Sylvain is interested in reconstructing the thermal history of the Variscan Jebilet and Guemassa massifs to understanding the mineralization processes of (1) the polymetallic ore deposits (Cu-Pb-Zn) and (2) the graphite mine in a contact metamorphism context.
Keaton Lewis, Undergraduate Student
Currently applying to Graduate school
Currently graduate student at K-State
Hallie is working on petrographical analysis of two Au-deposits located in Canada and South America. She performs fluid inclusion microthermometry and Raman spectroscopy to understand the fluid evolution during ore stage.
Keaton is working on Kimberlite Indicator Minerals (KIM) coming from Tanzania. To do so he is using electron microprobe and Raman microscope.
