“Hike up scenic Carbon Canyon in the Grand Canyon with geology professor Shawn Willsey to investigate the sexy and magnificent rocks exposed along the Butte Fault. Learn how this fault formed, reversed its direction of movement, and made the East Kaibab Monocline…”

So, about the new round of #USGS #Mendehall #Postdoc #Fellowship opportunities…
The #MojaveDesert has a long history of #mining (see, for example, http://www.desertsymposium.org/publications/2023_Mines_of_the_Mojave.pdf). From 19th century mule teams hauling boron, to the uranium boom of the 1950’s, to modern mining operations like the Mountain Pass #RareEarthElements #mine, the #Mojave has been in the middle. If you’ve ever dreamed of being a part of that history then do we have the opportunity for you!
The need for #CriticalMinerals, like #lithium or #RareEarth #minerals for use in gadgets and as part of the transition to clean energy has never been greater. Mendenhall Opportunity 22-13, “Constraining the geologic and tectonic conditions of critical element mineralization in the Mojave Desert, California” (https://www.usgs.gov/centers/mendenhall-research-fellowship-program/22-13-constraining-geologic-and-tectonic-conditions), seeks a #postdoc to apply #GeologicMapping, #geochemistry, and #geochronology to better characterize critical minerals systems in the Mojave. The application window opens 1 September and closes on 1 November.

I am beyond thrilled to share that I've accepted the position of Hazards Geologist with the #Oregon Department of Geology and Mineral Industries (aka #DOGAMI), based in the #Portland office.
So excited to join a great team and for the opportunity to continue to grow and learn as a research scientist with a focus on furthering #seismichazard and #geologicmapping programs throughout the state.
