Hello! I’m Daniel, and I’m a geologist based in the Southern Tier of NY. On this website, I like to share my professional interests, career accomplishments, and other various things about myself, outside of my USGS work1,2.


I am passionate about geological mapping, where my favorite sub-fields of geology (tectonics, structure, petrology, and geochemistry) intersect with my enthusiasm for the outdoors! In other words, I enjoy collecting geological data and samples in the field and bringing them back to the laboratory for analysis. Check out my research page to learn more!
