Erin E. Donaghy studies the geologic history of western North America, focusing on how ancient tectonic plates, fault systems, and sedimentary basins in Alaska and the Pacific Northwest (e.g., Washington State) formed and evolved over millions of years. This work combines field geology, dating of rocks and minerals (geochronology and thermochronology), and analysis of sediment layers to reconstruct how oceanic terranes collided with and were incorporated into the continent. The research aims to clarify the timing and mechanics of these collisional and fault-related processes, which shape our understanding of regional earthquake hazards and continental growth.
Publication output was minimal or absent from 2017-2020 but has grown substantially since 2021, with a peak of 10 outputs in 2024, indicating an increasingly active recent publication record.
