Research

Dr. Kelso and undergraduate student Chris Love are currently measuring and analyzing magnetics data for a collaborative National Science Foundation proposal with researchers from Minnesota, North Carolina and France. We are undertaking an integrated study of the evolution of the Sierra Nevada mountains of California. This preliminary work is the basis of Chris's senior project.
Dr. Kelso and an undergraduate student, Mark Halverson, collected samples from the Kapuskasing Structural Zone northeast of Chapleau, Ont. for a structural/paleomagnetic/rock magnetic study.
Samples were collected by Dr. Brown and Kurt Johnston (Baylor University) in New Mexico for a collaborative biostratigraphic/magnetostratigraphic project. Dr. Kelso is currently working on initial magnetic measurements, and analyses are underway.
Dr. Kelso and undergraduate student Len Payne, are continuing experimental studies on the magnetic properties of previously collected oceanic crustal and mantle samples. These samples were collected by Dr. Kelso while aboard the international scientific research vessel The JOIDES. These samples are in some cases unlike any rock previously collected anywhere in the world. Thus, they are providing new insights into how oceans and oceanic crust forms and changes with time.
