Distinguished Professor; Carnegie Foundation for the Advancement of Teaching's 1997 California Professor of the Year; 1996 recipient of the UC Davis Prize for Undergraduate Teaching and Scholarly Achievement

Geophysics: paleomagnetism of sediments and history of the geomagnetic field, modeling of polarity transitions, magnetostratigraphy, applications of rock and paleomagnetism to environmental problems; also Science Education and Geoarchaeology. Recent projects include paleomagnetism of Holocene and Pleistocene lake sediments; magnetostratigraphy of late Neogene and late Cretaceous sediments; effects of alteration and diagenesis on magnetic properties; rock magnetic studies of soils, loess, and desert varnish; sourcing of basaltic artifacts, programs for the improvement of science teaching at the K-12 and undergraduate levels.
