Make sure you attend tomorrow’s colloquium @ 5:30 PM in Science Center featuring Dr. Kennett Flores of Brooklyn College Speaking on “”Understanding Convergent Plate Boundary Evolution”
Dr. Flores is a regional field geologist who applies various techniques, including stratigraphy, structural geology, igneous, sedimentary and metamorphic petrology, geochemistry, geochronology, and sedimentology, to develop geodynamic scenarios and plate tectonic models for fossil convergent plate boundaries. Most of his field research has been focused on Central American accretionary prisms and suture zones. His other foci are the evolution and modeling of the plate tectonics of the Pacific Ocean including the Circum-Pacific convergent margins and the exhumation process of high-pressure–low-temperature (HP–LT) rocks around the world.
