What Goes Down Must Come Up: The Structural History of an Exhumed High Grade Block in Jenner, California part of 2018 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
This abstract page presents geological research on the structural history of an exhumed high-grade metamorphic block in Jenner, California, focusing on blueschist and eclogite deformation during Franciscan subduction and exhumation, using field observations, micromapping, and metamorphic modeling to understand subduction interface processes and deformational regimes.

Deformation of Franciscan blueschists and eclogites at depth in a subduction zone part of Structural Geology and Tectonics:2016 Structure and Tectonics Forum:Abstracts
Academic abstract page presenting a structural geology study on deformation mechanisms in Franciscan blueschists and eclogites at subduction zone depths, detailing fieldwork, 3D modeling, and rock mechanics analysis to reconstruct paleo-stress conditions and strain history within mélange terranes.
