Jesse is a field geologist and program manager with experience in geologic mapping, geochronology, GIS systems, and data preservation. His applied research interests are broad, spanning the tectonic modification and mineralization of the continental lithosphere over deep time, to surficial geologic processes impacting geohydrology and natural hazards. Most of his observations and scientific inspiration are drawn from the field, typically starting with detailed field mapping followed by appropriate laboratory measurements, including geochemistry and radiometric age dating (e.g., Ar/Ar, U-Pb, and (U-Th)/He geochronology). He frequently engages in scientific outreach and serves on the Tobacco Root Geological Society's board of directors.
