Jonathan Glen

I am a geophysicist with the U.S. Geological Survey working with the Geology, Minerals, Energy and Geophysics Science Center in Menlo Park, California. My recent research has mostly focused on applying potential-field, and rock- and paleo-magnetic methods to geologic and tectonic problems in the western U.S.

My work involves studies in potential field geophysics and paleomagnetism applied to:
· Geothermal resourses
· Basin and Range tectonics, volcanism, and metallogeny 
· Cascade Range and back-arc tectonics and metallogeny
· Alaska tectonics and metallogeny
· Paleomagnetic field behavior: magnetic polarity reversals, secular variation, excursions, paleointensity
· Magneostratigraphy and calibration of the magnetic polarity time scale 
· Hotspots and flood volcanism
· Mass Extinctions
· Electromagnetic monitoring of earthquakes
· Geophysical applications of Unmanned Aerial Systems (UAS)
