Many opportunities exist to combine your geologic studies with research in geology. Why not use that mineralogy, optical, computer science, calculus, petrology and/or  geochemisty? Any or all of these areas can be combined for a research experience. Current areas of interest include: computational modeling of fluid-rock interactions, development of contact aureoles, textural modeling of mineral growth, the mineralogy of fluid infiltrated rocks, crystal chemistry of rock forming minerals, development and mineralogy  of pseudomorphs as indicators of fluid history and the metamorphic petrology of NW Maine and the Sawtooth Mtns, Idaho. In addition, samples from several field areas of fluid infiltrated rocks are available, from California to Maine.

Please contact Dr. Dutrow if you are interested.
