Biography & Research Interests

Raymond received his M.Sc. in geology from Montana State University in 2023. His work there focused on geologic mapping and updating the stratigraphy of Yellowstone?s most recent super eruption. Raymond is now a field-based geologist using detailed mapping and chemical analysis to evaluate the volcanic and plutonic stratigraphy of Montana.
