RESEARCH

I am interested primarily in igneous petrology, especially volcanic phenomena, but am also interested in metamorphic petrology and earth-surface aqueous geochemistry. My research is located in central Arizona, and involves a series of 1.1 Ga (?) sills which I have called the Central Arizona Sill Complex (Dickey, 1994). Click on the reference to reach a discussion of my data and conclusions regarding this igneous province.

TEACHING

My duties involve the operation and maintenance of analytical equipment, including a Siemens SRS 300 X-ray fluorescence spectrometer, a Beckmann Spectraspan V DC plasma spectrophotometer, and a Dionex DX-500 high-pressure liquid chromatograph, as well as the support facilities used in sample preparation, data processing, and the like. I anticipate being involved in the operation of an electron microprobe which the Geology Department has recently acquired but which has not yet been installed, and am a system operator on our unix-based local area network. Graduate and advanced undergraduate students come to me for individual instruction in the use of our laboratory and computer facilities, and in the development of analytical programs suitable for their projects. The table which follows contains links to documents and instruction manuals which students and others who anticipate working with me will find useful.
