Research Interests

Continental tectonics, metamorphic petrology, structural geology, isotope geochemistry and thermochronology. Continental growth during convergent-margin and collisional orogenesis. Active research in the Transantarctic Mountains of Antarctica, and the subglacial geology of East Antarctica.

John has published widely in the fields of geology, tectonics, petrology, and geochronology, particularly in areas of the North American Cordillera and Antarctica. Over the course of 15 research expeditions to 'the ice', he has made fundamental contributions to the geology of Antarctica, including evolution of its Precambrian shield and tectonic development of the Transantarctic Mountains. Goodge Col, near the summit of Mt. Vinson, the highest point in Antarctica, is named in recognition of his contributions to Antarctic geology. John is co-lead investigator of the Rapid Access Ice Drill (www.rapidaccessicedrill.org), a new research drilling platform. He is a Fellow of the Geological Society of America, a past editor of Lithosphere and associate editor of Geochemistry, Geophysics, Geosystems.
