Paleomagnetism, geomagnetism, and environmental magnetism. The application of paleomagnetism to paleogeographic reconstructions in mountain belts, notably in the Alpine-Mediterranean area. The application of magnetic polarity stratigraphy to generate geologic time scales. The utilization of secular variation and relative paleointensities for correlation in recent sediments. Fellow of the American Geophysical Union (AGU). Overall supervision of the paleomagnetic laboratory.
Paleomagnetism, magnetostratigraphy, paleoclimatology, and paleogeography of the Phanerozoic. Fellow of the AGU and member of the National Academy of Sciences.
Paleomagnetism, magnetostratigraphy, and geodynamics, especially the application of paleomagnetism and geochronology to the continental assembly and breakup and related geologic events during the Proterozoic.
In collaboration with Dr. J.E.T. Channell is interested in the shallow seabed diagenetic and sedimentological processes that influence the preservation of paleomagnetic records in marine sediments.
Vertebrate paleontology, magnetic stratigraphy of Cenozoic mammal-bearing deposits in the New World, systematics of fossil horses, and stable isotope paleoecological reconstruction.
Paleomagnetism and tectonics, especially the application of paleomagnetism to terrane motion, rotation and amalgamation in China. Management of the paleomagnetic laboratory.
