Specialization and Research Interests

Dr. Keskinen's current research interests include petrologic studies of metamorphic rock suites in Alaska and California aimed towards:

  • P-T-time evolution of the Fairbanks mining district, Wrangellia in southeast Alaska and Canada,
  • determination of P-T regime and style of metamorphism indicative of tectonic processes along "terrane" margins,
  • evaluation and interpretation of hydrothermal processes in active and fossil geothermal and volcanic systems,
  • geologic characterization of hydrothermal processes in poly-metamorphosed roof pendant rocks, textural and mineralogical development of metapyroclastic rocks, and low-grade metamorphism of Mn-rich rocks.
