I am the John H. Markle Professor in the Department of Geology & Environmental Geosciences at Lafayette College (Easton, PA, USA).  My specialties are sedimentary geology, paleobiology, evolution, and the geology of Alaska.  I am also an Affiliated Faculty in the Department of Geosciences at the University of Alaska, Fairbanks.

Lafayette is a liberal arts institution located 1.5 hours north of Philadelphia and 1.5 hours west of New York City.  We are situated in varied geological terrain that includes rocks of the Newark Basin, Taconic & Acadian orogenic systems, and Precambrian metamorphics.
