Andrew P. Barth studies how magmatic arcs and mountain-building systems form and evolve, focusing on volcanic and intrusive rocks in California, the Sierra Nevada, and the western North American Cordillera. His work uses geochemical and isotopic techniques—especially analysis of the mineral zircon (for dating rocks and tracing magma sources)—to reconstruct the history of subduction zones and continental crust over hundreds of millions of years. He combines field mapping, rock chemistry, and laboratory dating to understand ancient tectonic processes.
