Title of Abstract: Mid-Creataceous Exhumation of the Northern Appalachian Mountains, Vermont from Apatite (U-Th)/He Thermochronology

Name of Mentors: Jaclyn Baughman and Michelle Fame

Mentors’ Organization or Department: Department of Earth and Oceanographic Science, Bowdoin College

Research Abstract: My research uses apatite helium thermochronology, a dating tool that allows us to reconstruct a rock’s journey from the depth to the surface, giving us insight into the potential. The study’s goal is to characterize the exhumation history–that is, the un-burying of rock–of the Northern Appalachian Mountains, and determine the timing and magnitude of potential uplift of the mountains in order to interpret the geologic processes that have been governing eastern North America since the rifting of the Atlantic Ocean to the present.
