Jamey is the USGS Earth MRI Coordinator.
His research is focused on the bedrock geology, tectonic evolution, and mineral resources of Alaska and western North America. He specializes in field geology, structural geology, metamorphic petrology, and U-Pb geochronology. USGS areas of focus include the Mineral Resources Program and the National Cooperative Mapping Program. Past and ongoing projects are also focused on the Precambrian tectonic evolution of the southwestern United States.

A USGS scientist is recording structural measurements collected from an outcrop of deformed and metamorphosed bedrock in the Yukon-Tanana upland of eastern interior Alaska. A team of two geologists were deployed by helicopter to conduct a geologic mapping and sampling traverse covering approximately 5 miles along the top of this ridge.

A scientist and the helicopter pilot work together to install geophysical instrumentation in a remote region west of the Neacola Mountains, south-central Alaska. An array of cables were buried in shallow trenches for up to 48 hours to measure the electrical conductivity of the bedrock at that location.
