Research Interests
I am currently pursuing my M.S. in Geology here at the University of South Carolina.  My thesis entitled, Landform Evolution of the Blue Ridge Escarpment in the Columbus Promontory: A Surface and Subsurface Study, is an investigation into the geomorphic and tectonic evolution of the enigmatic Blue Ridge Escarpment.  Follow this link to read the abstract from my  thesis proposal.

Update:  My thesis has now shifted slightly South to the SC-GA boarder and is primarily an investigation of the origin of the Blue Ridge Escarpment using the SEISDATA seismic reflection dataset and topographic analysis of the region using ArcGIS and ArcView.

Please contact me for more information on this research.
