DESCRIPTION:Bio: Devon is an Associate Professor at Montana State Universit
 y (MSU)\, where she joined the faculty in Fall 2017. She holds a Doctorate
  and Master of Science in Geosciences from the University of Arizona and w
 as a post-doctoral fellow at Stanford University. She earned her Bachelor 
 of Science in Earth and Planetary Science from University of California Sa
 nta Cruz. Devon’s research focuses on sedimentary basin analysis and the
  tectonic-thermal history of orogenic systems. Her field areas center on m
 ountains along ancient convergent margins in the western U.S. and Asia\, n
 amely Montana\, California\, Tibet\, and Nepal. She has earned numerous NS
 F and USGS grants\, including the prestigious NSF CAREER award\, and sever
 al educational mapping initiatives to support students at MSU.\n\nA dedica
 ted teacher\, Devon was awarded MSU College of Letters and Sciences Outsta
 nding Teaching Award in 2023. She actively supports field and laboratory r
 esearch experiences for MSU students\, mentoring graduate students and ove
 r 30 undergraduate students since 2017. She enjoys teaching the Summer fie
 ld geology course in Montana and is the Graduate Student Coordinator for t
 he Department of Earth Sciences. She also serves as Associate Editor for t
 he journal Tectonics and Journal of Sedimentary Research.\n\nDevon is grat
 eful to Dr. Steve Graham for introduction to the wonders of the Great Vall
 ey Forearc Basin. \n\nAbstract: The Great Valley forearc (GVF) basin prese
 rves >13 km of stratigraphy deposited during latest Jurassic-earliest Cret
 aceous to Miocene time\, preserving one of the most complete sedimentary a
 rchives of the North American Cordillera. This research investigates the m
 echanisms driving forearc basin development through integration of sedimen
 tology\, sandstone petrography\, and geochronology. In turn\, I compare th
 e evolution of the northern and southern segments of the basin during the 
 Cretaceous time\, including potential drivers for a ~40 myrunconformity wi
 thin the southern GVF that suggests the forearc region was a highly segmen
 ted since its initiation.
