Michael P. Eddy studies the geologic history of western North America, using rock dating techniques (such as U-Pb zircon geochronology) and chemical analysis of igneous rocks to reconstruct how mountain belts, volcanic arcs, and tectonic plates have interacted over millions of years. Much of the work focuses on the North Cascades and Pacific Northwest region, examining how magma formation, faulting, and plate collisions have shaped the crust, alongside related projects on volcanic activity linked to past climate change events (like the Deccan Traps and Cretaceous-Paleogene transition).
