Research summary

Andrea Stevens Goddard studies how mountains rise and erode and how sedimentary basins form and change over geological time. The work relies heavily on techniques that read the temperature and age histories recorded in tiny mineral grains—such as thermochronology and detrital zircon dating—to reconstruct past tectonic events across regions like the North American midcontinent, the Andes, and the Mongolian Altai. These reconstructions help explain long-term processes like the sinking of basins and the deep behavior of the Earth's rigid outer layer.

Publication activity grew over the decade, peaking sharply in 2024 with recent years including many conference abstracts alongside journal articles.
