Christine is a structural geologist who carries out field-based research in the Rocky Mountains and in West Antarctica. Recent work in Colorado and Wyoming related to the development of Laramide Mountains, through faulting and deformation. Previous work focused on the growth of the continent, through magmatism, tectonic accretion, and plutonism, in Precambrian time. In Antarctica, Christine has 11 seasons’ experience carrying out geological research supported by vessel in coastal regions and out of self-supported camps in remote on-continent locations. In addition to her own National Science Foundation-funded research, she has participated in Italian and German expeditions, for work in locales along the entire Pacific margin of Antarctica. The Antarctic research has been complemented by work in New Zealand, on rocks that correlate to West Antarctica. Presently she is involving CC students with Antarctic research through a “virtual geology” approach to mapping of the structures of West Antarctica using GIS and high resolution satellite imagery. Since field access is so restricted, this allows many more students to “travel” to Antarctica via computer, using facilities in the W.H. Keck GIS Commons at CC! Coming up in 2017-18, Christine has been invited to participate in the ANDRILL-Coulman High drilling project that will recover sediment records from a bathymetric high in the Ross Sea.
