My masters thesis focuses on understanding the eruptive history of Three Fingered Jack, a mafic composite volcano in the central High Cascades of Oregon. Three Fingered Jack is located 21km south of Mount Jefferson, near the town of Sisters, Oregon. For this study, I have conducted detailed field investigation, collected geochemistry and SEM data, and age dated samples using Ar/Ar geochronology.

The goal of this project is to better our understanding of Three Fingered Jack’s eruptive history, as well as place constraints on the conditions under which the basaltic andesite of Three Fingered Jack was produced. Projected date of completion: March 2025
