Brandon Keough studies the geological history of Alaska and nearby regions, focusing on how sedimentary layers (stratigraphy) and volcanic rocks record major tectonic events like the birth of volcanic arcs and the growth of ancient continental margins. This work combines field-based rock description, geochemistry, and isotope analysis to reconstruct past environments, including some research into ancient climate and precipitation patterns preserved in lake and soil deposits.
